Let's clarify: Gas: every transaction on Flare uses FLR for blockspace and computation. Those fees are burned. FDC: apps pay FLR to have external facts attested, such as XRP payments, data from other chains or Web2. FAssets, Smart Accounts and FCC can all generate this demand. Under FIP.16, 90% of FDC request fees are directed to FIRE. FCC: apps pay for confidential compute instructions executed by registered TEEs. This enables things like private reserve verification, confidential institutional data, policy-based signing and other computation where the inputs cannot be public. FCC also uses FDC to verify parts of its own deployment and configuration. So gas pays for using the chain. FDC pays for verified external data. FCC pays for confidential computation. All three create different forms of economic activity around FLR.

Reminder: Flare gives assets like XRP and Bitcoin access to a broader programmable financial layer, expanding what can be built around them across lending, yield, insurance, credit and more.

It's official. KWeather, the network behind Wellbian, has signed an LOI with Flare to bring verified weather data on-chain. Temperature, rainfall, and other climate variables will be published through Flare's Time Series Oracle, tamper-proof and independently verifiable from the moment of recording. This opens the door to parametric insurance that settles in days, not years. To weather derivatives for the industries most exposed to climate risk. To station-level data revenue, tokenized as a real world asset. We can't change the sky. But we can change tomorrow. Tonight, tomorrow got closer.

After my 90-min call today, I'm sure everyone is going to♥️this team. See them LIVE in their🎙️Keynote at XRP Seoul 2026 (@XRPSEOUL) in just 10 days! Lots more to come with verifiable data on @FlareNetworks.

Huge credit to everyone in the XRP community who jumped into this discussion, shared context and helped make the case. That community is a serious force when it aligns around something useful. And fair play to XPMarket for taking the time to review it and changing their vote. Great outcome for Permission Delegation and XRPL.

With 29 Yes votes Permission Delegation is now also in 2-Week activation on the XRP Ledger! ✅ Big enabler for institutions, get ready to see them come on chain on the XRP Ledger! What is this feature again? Permission Delegation is compliance & operations building block 🧵: - Asset issuers for stablecoins and RWAs need the ability to split roles (delegate) on the issuer account. E.g Compliance Team gets funds freezing role and the operations team can mint assets for customers, and ONLY that. They can't do anything else (!) while using their own XRP accounts instead of all of them sharing the keys to the main issuer. Large institutions need this ability. @rootveg444 explained very well how this looks like for the RLUSD team at Ripple. - We have also seen @HugoPhilion explain how Wormhole needs this feature so they can get a permission delegation for the RLUSD account to bridge back from ETH to the XRP Ledger, which in turn enables Flare to offer borrowing against your funds on the XRPL. - Other token issuers might also find it useful, you can delegate certain abilities to a new account and blackhole it after like @msvadari explained to cap asset supply without bricking the account. Very exciting feature!

Bravo! Onwards!

If you like what Flare can do with XRPL now you will love what will be possible with the FCC. How about building a fully decentralised neobank directly on the XRPL? No bridges no complexity.

Good morning, everyone!

XRP has been one of crypto's biggest assets since 2012. For most of those years, you could buy it, sell it, and not much else. That changes now. @FlareNetworks is putting XRP to work. Deposit XRP, it becomes FXRP, and a vault curator deploys it so it can start earning yield. Our new video explains what a vault is, who's managing the risk inside it, and what happens when that goes wrong — then walks through earnXRP (@ClearstarLabs), MXRPY (@monarq_mgmt) and @Firelightfi (coming soon).

To be clear: @FlareNetworks is a great contributor to the XRP ecosystem. I am glad to see flare grow, build novel primitives such as confidential compute, meaningful partnerships such as @Firelightfi & continuing to grow XRP DeFi. Would I prefer to see *all* activity native on XRPL? Of course.. I work for ripple & have the job of growing the XRP/L ecosystem. However, the work they do is undoubtedly positive and aligned with XRP. Wishing them success & continued growth in their business!

FIP.16 passed with 98.06% of the vote in April, one of the strongest mandates in @FlareNetworks' governance history. Four months later, the onchain behavior has shifted to match it. Staked FLR nearly doubled, from ~16B to 21.5B, and its share of all staked-or-delegated supply jumped from 32% to 46%, most of that move landing within weeks of a July hard fork. The calculated Burn rate is now running at more than 10x the pre-fork baseline. Full breakdown of the mechanics and the early revenue numbers: defillama.com/research/spotl…

And there’s another key thing: the MEV phase is still ahead. Let’s look at this from first principles. Once you have meaningful trading, lending and liquidations onchain, economic inefficiencies appear. Arbitrage, liquidations, and other opportunities create value that somebody will capture. Ethereum built an entire block-building market around this. On Solana, MEV tips have become an important source of validator and staker revenue. Flare is proposing something different. Under FIP.16, approved forms of network-positive MEV would be captured at the block-building layer and directed into FIRE. That changes the economic equation. More FAssets liquidity, more lending, more swaps and more real economic activity can create more opportunities for value capture. More captured value gives FIRE more resources to replace inflation-funded staking rewards, buy or burn FLR, and reinvest into liquidity and further economic activity. If that revenue eventually becomes large enough, network security can increasingly be paid for by the economy Flare hosts rather than by issuing new FLR. So what else do we need? We need useful applications, deeper FAssets liquidity, active lending markets, more assets, more users, better trading infrastructure, and builders creating products people actually want to use. The larger the real economy we build on Flare, the larger the economic base FIRE could eventually capture from.
