Firelight just went live and we have have integrated them into Flare Smart Accounts. This means you can 1 click deposit and earn yield on your XRP direct from the XRP Ledger. Firelight also raised their deposit cap so there is space for new deposits.

Firelight Protocol is now live, with initial cover extended to @SentoraHQ's USD Protected Vault and Protected RWA Vaults. DeFi now has its missing player: a protection layer for onchain capital.

None of these assets are priced in: $XRP, $XLM, $VELO, $SHX, $HBAR, $LINK, $QNT, $ONDO, $FLR, $AXL 🎯 #NFA

Normalize "I'm willing to work on that" instead of "that's just how I am."✅

The reason most miss the move in crypto is they only pay attention when things get exciting We recently saw this with $QNT For MONTHS we sat in accumulation Yet everyone only wanted to buy once we had a +50% daily candle & TCH announcement. You're gonna get BURNT every time playing like that Yes The Clearing House announcement was big, But let's not pretend Quant had nothing up until then, Before Q3 of this year alone Quant already bagged: Murex: 25% of daily forex volume Dentsu: Used by 100% of Japanese megabanks Bank of England: Quant in 2 SyncLab use cases And researchers such as myself & many others had been screaming about this nonstop for months. Some of us have been talking about the scope for the past 5 years and more. That's the difference between reacting of hype and preparing through conviction. And guess what? We're gonna see this trap over and over again, not just with Quant, but many other tokens. The herd is never going to learn. But YOU can separate yourself from the herd. And no, that doesn't mean blindly buying something just because it's down. It means doing the work before everyone else suddenly decides to give a shit. Think about what happens every single time. When price is boring? Nobody cares about the partnerships. Nobody cares about the infrastructure. Nobody cares about what's being built. Then suddenly price moves 50%. Everyone starts researching. Everyone starts asking what the project does. Everyone wants to know whether they should buy. Questions of "Is it too late to buy token XYZ?" "How high do you think we can go?" They're doing the research in the complete wrong order. Price isn't what convinces you to start researching. Research should be what prepares you for when price eventually moves. That's why the boring periods matter so much. Yet that's when we see the majority of people in this market begin to leave and give up. It's where those of us who are serious actually get time to do the dirty work: • Understand what you own • Learn why you're buying • Separate announcements from actual utility • Build conviction without green candle influence Because once the hype arrives... Your psychology changes. Suddenly you're not calmly evaluating an investment. You're watching everyone else make money while you're sitting on the sidelines. And FOMO starts making decisions for you. This is why I've always cared so much about researching infrastructure before it becomes exciting. Throughout my 5+ years of being in this industry I haven't taken a day off looking at what's happening. QNT is simply just the most recent example of this. In 2024 we saw this with XRP/HBAR/XDC/XLM In 2023 we saw this with RENDER The list goes on. And this example WILL repeat itself again. Maybe some run. Maybe some don't. That's not the point. The point is that when the next major catalyst arrives, I don't want to suddenly start asking: "Wait... what does this project actually do?" "Do I still have to get in before the top?" I want to have spent the previous months understanding exactly what was being built. You don't separate yourself from the herd by predicting every pump. You separate yourself by doing the work while the herd is still bored and distracted elsewhere. Because by the time everyone agrees something is exciting... You're probably already late to the part where the real opportunity was being built.

From selling paper airplanes on the playground to bringing the next billion users into crypto. Meet the Kwok brothers, @kwok_phil and @dom_kwok, the founders of @easya_app, who are literalizing the term "crypto bros." In our second issue, @AmandaSWriter explores what happens when your co-founder is also your brother, and why their ambitions extend far beyond crypto's existing audience.

FIP Files: the complete index Over the last four weeks I went through every Flare Improvement Proposal ever passed. All 16 of them. Every one is marked Final, which means the community voted it through and it's running on the network today. If you hold, delegate or stake $FLR, these 16 documents are the rules you're playing by. Most people never read them. So I did, one chapter at a time. Here's the whole series in one place. Chapter 0: why I started this x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… 2023: LAYING THE FOUNDATION Chapter 1 - FIP.01: Widen FLR distribution, reduce inflation The most debated vote in Flare's history. The airdrop went to active WFLR holders in 36 monthly drops instead of one big dump, and inflation started its way down from 10%. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 2 - FIP.02: FTSO Management Group Data providers policing data providers. Collude or copy submissions and you get chilled. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… Chapter 3 - FIP.03: A secondary reward band A second, wider band so more providers get paid, not just the top quarter. 70/30 split. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 4 - FIP.04: New FTSO pairs BCH and DGB out. ARB, AVAX, BNB, MATIC, SOL, USDC, USDT and XDC in. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 5 - FIP.05: Staking opens up Minimum delegation cut from 10M to 50K FLR, P-chain mirrored to C-chain. Staking stopped being a whales-only thing. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… 2024: REBUILDING THE ENGINE Chapter 6 - FIP.06: Flare Systems Protocol + FTSO Scaling The hard fork everything since then is built on. Room for up to 1000 feeds. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… Chapter 7 - FIP.07: FTSO Fast Updates This is where the ~1.8s price updates come from. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… Chapter 8 - FIP.08: 19 new feeds and a way to add more Including BCH, back less than a year after FIP.04 removed it. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… Chapter 9 - FIP.09: FLR protocol emissions Around 510M FLR for builders and DeFi liquidity, with 12-month vesting. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 10 - FIP.10: Passes for providers Skip your duties in one protocol too often and you lose the whole epoch's rewards. No more cherry-picking. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 11 - FIP.11: The bands flip The FIP.03 split goes from 70/30 to 40/60, and small parameter tweaks no longer need a full FIP. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… 2025-2026: DATA IN, VALUE BACK Chapter 12 - FIP.12: Flare Data Connector The successor to State Connector and the reason FAssets can exist at all. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 13 - FIP.13: Custom Feeds Feeds priced by contract logic instead of providers. sFLR went first. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… Chapter 14 - FIP.14: Web2 attestations FDC can now read any Web2 API. Prediction markets already use it to settle outcomes. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 15 - FIP.15: Delisting weak feeds A watchlist first, then a vote. Dead feeds don't get to stay forever. x.com/Anubis_Crypto_/status/… Chapter 16 - FIP.16: The tokenomics restructure Inflation from 5% to 3%, and FIRE turning network fees into buybacks and rewards. The one that ties FLR to actual usage instead of new supply. x.com/anubis_crypto_/status/… A few things that stood out after reading all of them back to back. Nothing here passed quietly. The lowest approval ever was FIP.02 at 74.6%. The highest was FIP.06 at 98.2%. Every other proposal cleared 88%. Inflation went from 10% to 3% across two votes, both public, both on-chain. And read in order, the direction is hard to miss. 2023 was about who gets FLR. 2024 was about making the oracle fast and hard to game. 2025 and 2026 are about pulling outside data in and sending value back to holders. That's the full story of @FlareNetworks governance so far, and you can get through it in one evening. Thanks to everyone who quoted, shared and argued in the replies along the way. You took this series a lot further than I expected. So here's what I actually want to know: if you could write FIP.17, what would it change?

Bet $5 Mike won't come outta retirement to coach the Texans 🤞🏿🤞🏿

Yes. On Sept. 11, 2001, NYT Jerusalem bureau chief James Bennet asked Netanyahu what the attacks meant for US-Israel relations. He replied “It’s very good,” then clarified: “Well, it’s not very good, but it’s going to generate immediate sympathy” and strengthen the shared bond against terror. Bennet recounted this in The Atlantic in 2011.
