About Flare
Flare is on a mission to “Unlock the Value” inherent in the 65% of blockchains that do not have native smart contracts by bringing, for the first time, true trustless usage of those tokens with scalable smart contracts.

Flare enables Turing-complete smart contracts on any native blockchain, unleashing DeFi, Metaverse, Gaming and NFTs. Creating new utility and opportunities for existing communities such as Dogecoin, XRP, Litecoin, Algorand and Stellar. With more to follow via decentralized governance votes.

Flare does not rely on Proof of Work or Proof of Stake and instead utilises an adaption of Federate Byzantine Agreement making it a low carbon, highly scalable solution. Freeing up value to get to work across the 3 main protocols as well as the other Dapps being developed across the ecosystem:
• State-connector protocol is purpose-built for safely interpreting the state of all underlying chains. Enabling Flare to attain the existence, validity and ordering of any transaction from any underlying blockchain. The ability to prove these properties about any transaction from any chain is available freely to all Dapps on Flare, including the F-asset protocol for representing assets from other networks directly onto Flare.
• Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) completes the protocols and provides externally sourced data estimates to the Flare Network in a decentralised manner. It does so by leveraging the distributed nature of the network and its participants.
• F-assets is a decentralised bridge that enables the truly trustless issuance, usage and redemption of other native layer 1’s on Flare. Enabling participants to earn external earnings via the protocol as well as internal earnings via FLR or SGB.

One of the best kept layer 1 secrets but not for much longer. Since launching the canary network Songbird in Sept ’21, already over 218k unique wallet addresses, over 3m transactions, 2.2m blocks mined.

Flare brings together the value of the non-Turing complete tokens with the transformative power of smart contracts on a network that can scale for value as well as transaction throughput. Flare is a start-up which recently raised $11.3m in funding from leading investors including Kenetic Capital, Digital Currency Group, CoinFund and many other leading investors.
