Learn more about Firelight’s staking mechanism
Firelight’s staking mechanism allows XRP holders to convert their XRP into productive collateral through stXRP. stXRP is a Liquid Staking Token (LST) that users can use within the Flare DeFi ecosystem while maintaining custody of the underlying assets.
According to the announcement, the capital injected into Firelight will be used to provide an institutional-grade coverage solution for on-chain risks backed by XRP staking. At the same time, the smart account feature developed by Xaman Wallet on Flare will allow users to initiate transactions directly from XRPL.
Overview of Xaman Smart Accounts features coming in December
Xaman Smart Accounts functionality is expected to be released in December. Its purpose is to allow XRPL accounts to trigger transactions on Flare using encoded memo instructions. These instructions are verified by the Flare Data Connector and executed through a proxy smart account that mirrors the XRPL address.
This is expected to enable a high level of cross-chain interoperability, which could help users earn revenue, access DeFi protocols, and manage their assets without leaving the XRPL experience.
Commenting on the mainnet launch, Flare CEO and co-founder Hugo Philion said Firelight on Flare can help secure protocols across the cross-chain ecosystem and provide important benefits for Flare.
The CEO added, “In effect, Flare will be the home of this protocol and the home of expression for the values that this protocol covers. This means a lot to Flare.”
Growth of the flare ecosystem
The launch of Firelight is part of Flare’s long-term plan to expand its ecosystem. Flare’s total value locked (TVL) has skyrocketed through recent quarters and is and remains near an all-time high of $180 million. Additionally, over 50 million XRP have been bridged to Flare.
Additionally, organizational attention to flare is increasing. For example, US asset management company Teucrium recently filed a registration statement with the SEC for its proposed FLR exchange-traded fund (ETF) in October 2025.
