Flare is an EVM-based Layer 1 blockchain built to support applications that interact with other blockchains and external internet data. Its design centers on providing decentralized access to high-integrity off-chain information, enabling developers to build interoperable decentralized applications without depending on centralized data providers. The network's core infrastructure is built around two native protocols. The Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) delivers decentralized price and data feeds to on-chain applications by aggregating inputs from a large set of independent data providers. The State Connector allows smart contracts on Flare to securely verify information drawn from other blockchains and web sources in a trustless manner. Both protocols are secured by the network itself, distributing risk across many independent participants rather than concentrating it in single sources. FLR is the network's native token, used for transaction fees to deter spam, payments, and staking by validator nodes. It can also be wrapped into an ERC-20 form called WFLR, which can be delegated to FTSO data providers, staked for participation in governance, or used across other EVM-compatible applications on the network.
Hardware-wallet access removes the biggest practical barrier to XRP-native yield — and the wider alliance framing positions Flare as XRP's programmable layer rather than a sidechain.
The token hit a near-six-month high as Bitwise's BHYP began trading and Coinbase deepened Hyperliquid's dollar rails — a regulated-access combo that's pulling real futures positioning behind it.
