About Flare (FLR)
Layer-1 blockchain
Flare (FLR) is a Layer-1 blockchain — a base network with its own consensus, validators, and native coin (FLR) used to pay fees and secure the chain. Developers build applications directly on it, and FLR is the asset that powers the whole ecosystem.
How does Flare work?
The Flare network is maintained by a distributed set of participants who validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. FLR is required to pay for transactions and, on many networks, to stake and help secure the chain in exchange for rewards.
What is FLR used for?
FLR pays network fees, can often be staked for yield, and serves as the core unit of value across apps built on Flare. Demand for FLR tends to track activity and adoption on the network itself.

How a FLR swap works
Enter the amount you want to exchange, pick the asset on the other side, and SwapRocket queries every connected exchange partner at once. You choose an offer, paste the wallet address that should receive the funds, and send FLR to the deposit address shown. The partner executes the trade and pays out to your address — SwapRocket never holds your coins, and there is no account to create before you start.
Choosing a rate for FLR
Three offers are presented for every FLR exchange. The best rate returns the largest amount for the size you entered. The fastest route favours the partner with the shortest expected settlement time, which matters when the market is moving. The fixed rate locks the quoted amount for the duration of the order, so what you are shown is what arrives, at the cost of a slightly smaller payout. Floating offers can move with the market between deposit and settlement.
Networks and addresses for FLR
Flare settles on Flare. Always send from and to an address on that network: a deposit sent over a different chain cannot be recovered by the exchange partner. When an asset exists on several chains, pick the matching network in the widget before copying the deposit address, and send a small test amount first if you are unsure.

What is FLR? · Sourced guide · Updated · 15 sources cited
Most blockchains depend on outside oracles to learn prices and events from the wider world. What changes when a network builds those data services into its own core protocol, and where does the FLR token fit?
Flare describes itself as the blockchain for data: a full-stack layer 1 designed for data-intensive use cases. Instead of treating price feeds and cross-chain verification as add-ons, Flare enshrines them in the protocol, so they inherit the economic security of the whole network. FLR is the native token that pays for transactions on Flare Mainnet and backs parts of that design. This profile explains the approach using Flare's official site and developer documentation.
Data as a protocol feature, not a plug-in
Smart contracts cannot see outside their own chain. They need someone to tell them what an asset is worth or whether a payment happened on another network. On many chains that job falls to separate oracle services that applications must choose, pay for and trust on their own terms.
Flare takes a different route. Its data protocols are integrated into the blockchain's core, and the project states that they inherit the economic security of the entire network. The chain is also EVM compatible, with out-of-the-box support for familiar Ethereum tooling, so developers can use these data services from ordinary Solidity contracts.[1], [2], [3]
FTSO: price feeds that update every block
The Flare Time Series Oracle, now in its second version, is an enshrined oracle that provides decentralized data feeds to the network. Flare's documentation says its block-latency feeds update with each new block, roughly every 1.8 seconds, and that the system supports up to 1,000 feeds across equities, commodities and cryptocurrencies, with two weeks of historical data available.
Each feed is supported by around 100 independent data providers, selected by Flare users through their delegated stake, which the documentation describes as imposing a strict economic cost for misbehaviour. A stake-weighted verifiable randomness function picks a sample of providers for each incremental update, and those fast updates are anchored to slower Scaling feeds that use a full commit-reveal process every 90 seconds. For builders, the block-latency feeds are free to use onchain.[4], [5], [6], [7]
FDC: proving what happened elsewhere
Prices are only half the story. The Flare Data Connector is an enshrined oracle that validates external data — such as transactions on other blockchains or responses from web APIs — for Flare's EVM state. An attestation needs more than half of the data providers' signature weight before it is accepted.
To keep costs down, verified data is organised into a Merkle tree and only the Merkle root is stored onchain. Smart contracts then check Merkle proofs against that root, so only authenticated data can trigger contract actions. New attestation types can be added through provider consensus, which lets the system grow with new use cases.[8], [9]
FAssets: bringing XRP, BTC and DOGE into smart contracts
The two data protocols come together in FAssets, which Flare's documentation describes as a trustless, over-collateralised bridge connecting non-smart-contract networks to Flare. It creates wrapped tokens for assets like BTC, DOGE and XRP that can take part in Flare's DeFi ecosystem or be redeemed for the original assets.
FTSO supplies the prices and FDC verifies the deposits and redemptions on the underlying chains. Each FAsset is backed by a mix of collateral that includes stablecoin or ETH collateral together with FLR or SGB, and agents plus a community collateral pool keep the system over-collateralised. Flare's homepage frames this as XRPFi, BTCfi and DOGEfi — putting coins from chains without smart contracts to work.[10], [11], [12]
Where FLR fits
FLR is the native currency of Flare Mainnet, and transactions on the production network are paid in FLR. The network uses a proof-of-stake mechanism, which Flare says ensures a significant and consistent level of economic security, and the same delegated stake helps select the data providers behind the oracle feeds.
Flare runs four EVM networks: Flare Mainnet, the Coston2 testnet for application builders, the Songbird canary network where protocol upgrades are tried first, and the Coston testnet for protocol work. Changes travel from the test networks through Songbird before they reach Mainnet.[13], [14], [15]
How widely enshrined data gets used
Flare's design makes data services part of the chain rather than something bolted on. How many applications outside the Flare ecosystem come to depend on these feeds and attestations, and how much value flows through FAssets over time, is UNKNOWN from official sources.
What this means when you hold or move FLR
SwapRocket lists FLR as a tradable asset. Flare Mainnet is an EVM network with chain ID 14, so many Ethereum-style wallets can hold FLR once the network is added — but a Flare address is only useful if your wallet is actually set to Flare. Check that your receiving wallet supports Flare before you swap, and match the network shown in your quote to that wallet exactly.
Staking, delegation and FAssets minting are optional and happen through Flare's own tools and partner apps, not through a swap. Keep your transaction ID until the swap completes so you can trace it on the Flare block explorer if needed.

The provider that executes the swap may still request identity verification or hold a swap for review under its own AML and sanctions policy, regardless of amount. Selling to a bank account goes through a regulated payment partner that verifies the payer; card purchases on SwapRocket are coming soon.
Is swapping Flare on SwapRocket non-custodial?
Yes. SwapRocket never holds your funds. The provider that executes the swap receives your deposit, holds it only for the duration of the swap, and sends FLR to the wallet address you provide.
Which network does FLR use here?
SwapRocket supports Flare on the Flare network. Always double-check that your receiving wallet supports this network before confirming.
What fees apply when I swap FLR?
SwapRocket adds no fee or markup to the provider's quote and may earn a commission from the provider on a completed swap. The provider's spread and any network cost it deducts on delivery are already reflected in the FLR amount shown; the network fee your own wallet charges to send the deposit is separate. Spreads vary by provider, pair and size, so compare the quoted receive amount.
