INSIGHT

FXRP Unlocks DeFi For XRP

FXRP brings XRP into Flare enabling DeFi primitives like lending, DEXs, and NFTs using Flare's data layer.
Staked representations (stXRP) let holders earn yield while using their XRP across DeFi applications.

INSIGHT

Staking Without Proof‑Of‑Stake

Firelight lets users stake XRP to secure services like oracles and liquidity provision, creating staking-like economic roles.
Rewards arise from securing paid services or financial primitives rather than native chain issuance.

ADVICE

Tie Rewards To Real Economic Services

Reimagine staking for assets with zero native yield by tying stake to revenue‑generating services like insurance or RWAs.
Design rewards to match comparable risk so capital holders find staking attractive.
