Flare was started as a project to develop a DeFi ecosystem for Ripple. That’s the reason why XRP holders received FLR tokens in the first place. However, over the period of two years since its inception, the vision changed.

The project now aims to provide smart contract solutions not just for Ripple but for any blockchain that is lacking such capability like Bitcoin.

The project successfully raised $11.3 million in June 2021 funding round by Kenetic Capital. Genesis and CoinDesk parent company Digital Currency Group also participated in the capital raise.
