## What FLR-USD Is

FLR is the native token of **Flare Network**, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that brands itself as "the blockchain for data" — providing protocol-level data acquisition and cross-chain verification (essentially an on-chain oracle/data layer) rather than relying on third-party oracles [[3]](https://flare.network/news/category/updates), [[6]](https://tokenradar.ai/tokens/flare/tokenomics), [DOC-1]. Its current strategic thesis is **XRPFi**, the effort to bring XRP into DeFi without moving it off the XRP Ledger, via the FAssets protocol and **FXRP** (a tokenized, overcollateralized representation of XRP) [[4]](https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/09/24/fxrp-moves-into-credit-as-flare-expands-xrpfi-infrastructure/), [[12]](https://www.bitrue.com/blog/xrp-flare-latest-developments-invesment-prospects).
