What it means
Flare is trying to expand the use of XRP by allowing crypto users to operate smart contracts on Ripple’s native token. Crypto owners who hold Spark can also optimize the new digital asset as collateral to redeem assets in Flare’s ecosystem.
- Leading crypto exchanges such as Coinbase have recently disclosed that they will support and enable the airdrop to distribute Spark governance tokens pro-rata to such clients, based on their XRP holdings.
- Spark tokens will be used for guidance on the Flare network through voting processes, and XRP holders will be able to earn such a reward on their Ripple holdings by using Spark tokens as collateral to secure the less credible and redemption of FXRP.
