🌋Something big is happening on @FlareNetworks 🚀 For the 1st time, network activity is being directly tied to real economic value for #FLR holders. 👉 FIP.16 introduces a system where fees, data services, and cross-chain activity can flow back into the ecosystem—reducing supply, strengthening the token, and aligning growth with usage. 🔥This is how value accrues🔥

🇺🇸BREAKING: The Fed has proposed its GENIUS Act rules, requiring stablecoins it oversees to be fully backed by Treasury bills and other high-quality assets. Proposal one: - Stablecoins must be fully backed by permissible reserves, such as short-term Treasury bills and other high-quality, liquid assets. - Issuers face standardized capital requirements covering credit and operational risks, plus risk management standards. - New rules cover firms that safekeep stablecoin reserves, and clarify which stablecoin activities Fed-supervised banks can carry out. Proposal two: - Fed-supervised banks applying to issue stablecoins must submit a business plan and financial information. - The proposal also sets a process for appeals, hearings and final decisions on applications. "Stablecoins will only be stable if they can be reliably and promptly redeemed at par in a range of conditions," says Fed Governor Michael Barr. The comment period closes 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

The new frontier of finance isn't on the horizon. It's here. As our markets evolve at warp speed, the @CFTC is upgrading its rules and regulations to prepare for the era of onchain systems, mass tokenization, 24/7 trading, and agentic finance.

Evernorth expects to list on Nasdaq as XRPN. If and when that bell rings, we don't plan to walk out alone. This community took the hits nobody else would. The least we can do is show up with them. We're collaborating with BearChamp, the fighter and XRP community member the Chicago artist @JCRivera invented after being told he couldn't become one. One directive: roll with the punches. This community has been running that play for a decade. Expect apparel, storytelling and a front-row seat to the Evernorth x BearChamp collaboration.

Great news. Veda has powered billions in deposits. Firelight plugging directly into that infrastructure gives onchain protection a distribution path across vaults and the protocols building on top of them. This could put Firelight protection in front of a lot more capital.

The XRP Ledger’s permission delegation upgrade has entered its 14-day activation countdown, with activation possible as early as 5 October. The upgrade would allow account holders to authorise another account to perform specific tasks without sharing their private keys. Permissions can be updated or revoked, giving users greater control over who can do what on their behalf. Activation remains subject to validator support staying above 80% throughout the countdown.

Firelight is partnering with @Veda_Labs enabling eligible vaults can integrate on-chain protection. The collateral layer lives on Flare: FXRP, staked as stXRP, backing the pool behind that coverage.

○ Cloud backup is coming to Bifrost Wallet 👀 ○ @FlareNetworks FCC-powered XRP stocks app ○ FXRP is approaching its first anniversary ○ Audits published by @Firelightfi ○ Revenue-sharing meme launchpad take by @HugoPhilion ○ Fully decentralized neobank on XRPL possible via FCC ○ @XRPLF Permission Delegation dropped below the activation threshold ○ Lending v1.1 tested on XRPL Devnet ○ @ClearpoolFin is building XRPL credit rails ○ XRP Ledger joined Open Wallet Standard ○ @XDCNetwork contributors acknowledged in WTO stablecoin report ○ XDC Network at @Sibos 2026 ○ @xdcaitech showed agent payments settling in USDC ↓

We're partnering with @Veda_Labs to bring onchain protection to vault infrastructure. As we move to launch, eligible Veda vaults will be able to directly integrate Firelight protection. Veda has powered $32B+ in deposits. We're building the protection layer to scale with them.

Flare is starting to power a pretty unique use case: making satellite analysis verifiable enough to be used in real-world decisions. Zephyr works with Earth observation data for things like flood assessment, crop damage, deforestation and infrastructure monitoring. The problem is that the result alone is not enough when money, insurance or compliance depends on it. You also need evidence of what data was used, what code or model processed it, and how the result was produced. Here FCC and TEEs fit naturally. The imagery and sensitive inputs can be processed inside a TEE, with the approved code/model executed in a protected environment. Instead of exposing the underlying data, the system can return an attested result and a cryptographic receipt binding the inputs, execution and output. Flare then gives that result an onchain verification and settlement layer. This adds a strong contribution to the list of examples with confidential compute applied to real-world data, and where proving how an answer was produced is just as important as the answer itself.

In Phase 2, Firelight will enable coverage for 6 major on-chain events: → Smart contract exploits → Oracle failures → Governance exploits → Bad debt from mechanism failure → Depegs from mechanism failure → Redemption failures De-risking Web3, one vector at a time.

I really want to enable users to borrow RLUSD against their XRP directly from the XRP ledger (using Flare smart accounts) AND receive their borrowed RLUSD ON the XRP ledger. In order for that to happen I need the Wormhole RLUSD bridge to be up. For that to happen I need XRP validators to approve: xrpscan.com/amendment/Permis…

A lot of insights about @Firelightfi and DeFi cover by @ConnorSullie , @metalayervc and @Maven11Capital

The Firelight Protocol roadmap is LIVE! We have recently completed significant milestones, including our $8M Seed Round and full protocol audits. Looking ahead, we are preparing for the Firelight Protocol launch and the announcement of our first coverage partners at the end of September! Here's a detailed timeline of our past, ongoing, and upcoming core milestones.

Firelight raises $8M in a seed round led by @GumiCryptos, with participation from @Maven11Capital, @metalayervc, @tribecap & Joint Effects. The round supports our work closing DeFi's protection gap. ~$80B in TVL sits across DeFi today, and only a fraction is protected. coindesk.com/business/2026/0…
