Flare (FLR) is a layer 1 blockchain based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that aims to potentially enhance the utility of blockchain technology. It seeks to offer developers decentralized access to high-integrity data from other chains and the internet, thereby enabling new use cases and monetization models. FLR, the native token of the Flare network, can be used for transaction fees and participation in validator nodes. It can also be converted into an ERC-20 variant, WFLR, which can be utilized in various ways, such as delegation to Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) data providers or involvement in governance.

Flare operates through two native interoperability protocols that facilitate the on-chain, decentralized acquisition of blockchain, time series, and Web2 API data. The State Connector acquires event information from other blockchains and the internet in a secure, scalable, and decentralized manner. This information is then made available to decentralized applications (dapps) on the network. The Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) utilizes the network structure to deliver highly decentralized prices and data series to dapps on Flare without relying on centralized data providers. This structure allows Flare to minimize risks for users and developers.

Flare aims to potentially unlock the full potential of blockchain technology by providing reliable access to cryptocurrency prices, detailed transaction information from other chains, and Web2 event data. This access enables developers to build applications that can provide more utility to a larger group of users. The FLR token can be used for transaction fees and participation in validator nodes. Additionally, the wrapped FLR (WFLR) tokens can be delegated to FTSO data providers or used in governance, among other uses in EVM-compatible dapps and smart contracts on Flare.

Flare was founded by Hugo Philion, Sean Rowan, and Dr. Nairi Usher, who met while studying machine learning at University College London. They shared an interest in distributed systems and their potential applications. The genesis of the Flare mainnet occurred on 14 July 2022, followed by the public token distribution event (TDE) on 9 January 2023. The total available supply at genesis was 100 billion FLR, of which 12 billion FLR were in circulation immediately after the TDE. The public token distribution continues for 36 monthly installments, distributing a total of 28,524,921,372 FLR to the community. Flare is a network with 10% of the circulating supply created in year 1.
