- Flare Labs enables DeFi access for XRP, BTC, and DOGE through its innovative FAssets system.
- FAssets allows non-smart contract tokens to engage with decentralized finance applications.
Flare Labs is rapidly increasing the capabilities of FAssets, a novel system meant to integrate non-smart contract assets such as XRP, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Plans to quickly add FBTC for Bitcoin and FDOGE for Dogecoin drove the original FAssets deployment to begin with FXRP, a tokenized form of XRP as we previously reported.
This method lets users turn non-smart contract assets into ERC-20 compatible tokens, therefore facilitating smooth interaction with smart contracts throughout many distributed apps. Thanks to Flare’s creative approach, these assets—among the biggest non-smart contract tokens available—are likely to open fresh DeFi prospects.
Don’t fade FDoge.
FAssets start with FXRP, then Flare Labs will be moving to FBTC as quickly as possible, and then FDoge. For now, those are the largest non-smart contract assets in the market. https://t.co/maZYMZpTvg

Bridge XRP, BTC, and DOGE to DeFi
Through this project, Flare seeks to solve a significant obstacle that non-smart contract assets have always encountered in DeFi: the incapacity to engage directly with smart contracts.
Flare offers a way for these tokens—XRP, BTC, and DOGE—to be used in applications once beyond their reach by tokenizing these assets.
This means that popular cryptocurrencies without native smart contract capability can now participate in the DeFi area, therefore expanding the terrain and adding variation to current systems both for consumers and developers.
Flare has had a lot of involvement since introducing the FAssets open beta; over 40,000 people on the Coston testnet have completed 450,000 minting and redeeming transactions for FTestXRP and FBTC.
Already, the beta phase has produced around 7 FBTC and almost 48 million FXRP. These figures highlight the great degree of interest and involvement in the Flare ecosystem, where users not only test but also actively help the FAssets system to remain stable and thrive.
Flare has also underlined that active participants in this beta open test could be eligible for a retroactive airdrop, therefore motivating continuous participation.
Flare Enhances FAssets with New Features for Seamless User Experience
Flare has introduced new features to improve user experience, such as support for Facebook TCV, while it keeps honing FAssets. Users now have choices to offer liquidity by adding CFLR to the agency pool, choose preferred agents during the minting of FAssets, and monitor FAsset performance via a public dashboard.
By combining MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet, wallet capability has been further enhanced and more users may interact with the FAssets system without having to migrate to alternative platforms. Whether users are end-users eager to trade FAssets or liquidity providers, these additions help users to interact with the network.
FAssets’ developments show Flare’s dedication to building an open, easily accessible DeFi ecosystem where historically limited assets might fit. Flare’s efforts also underline the need of extending support and access to decentralized finance, thereby enabling further advancements outside XRP, BTC, and DOGE.
Flare is striving for a vision where additional assets may be effortlessly merged into DeFi with every improvement so users may use their preferred tokens free from limitations.
On the other hand, CNF previously noted that Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images improve access by streamlining the fast deployment of entire blockchain nodes for more than 20 networks.
For companies trying to simplify their blockchain operations and developers in general, Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images are both affordable and efficient because of their connection with Google Cloud.
