⌛️We're down to the final seconds. One last push. Demand your Senator to pass Clarity NOW.
Repost and tag them. Call. Send letters. This comes down to one thing: stay silent, or get loud.

Wildfire is a weapon of mass destruction. Any bad actor can destroy more homes than a tactical nuke with just a lighter on a windy day. We need to start addressing this issue as the unrivaled national security threat that it is.
These are the Senators who aren’t interested in being reelected @Sen_Alsobrooks@CoryBooker@SenCortezMasto@RubenGallego@Hickenlooper@MarkWarner@ReverendWarnock we welcome you all back into the private sector if you don’t pass the Clarity Act. Welcome to the real world. It’s a jungle out here. I can assure you it’s not worth it. We actually have to work. Pass it and continue to enjoy the government dole.
🚨 Elon Musk just NUKED this reporter to her face in a MASTERCLASS
"People loathe you!"
ELON: "I don't care. The fact that a quarter billion people follow me means a lot more people like me than don't."
"I think a lot more people hate YOU and the MEDIA than you realize!"

Privacy is around the corner for XRP Ledger!
XLS-96 Confidential Transfers authored by @aanchalmalhotre@ja_akinyele and a list of other engineers.
A native infrastructure feature to allow "Institutions to go from off chain to on chain "
"Allows private amount distribution of assets among institutions"
Initially tried to do with XRP but a better hybrid path was taken with issued assets. Privacy where it's needed and not a base case. I think thats the better path as well.
@lucbocahut and Ayo dived together with me in the new XRPL Preview series into this upcoming feature for the XRPL.
With a sneak peek of what more to come on the privacy front to round up the tool kit and to achieve "hiding the transaction graph" ❤️
Very excited for privacy and i can't believe it's coming in a few weeks for voting.
I understand the pessimism of people that are not at the coal face everyday. A few things:
1) We are in a bear market for BTC and a deep bear market for alts. Flare has been inline with this - evidenced through consistency in CMC rankings the entire time.
2) I made some projections for FXRP size last year that were based on Firelight fully launching early this year, together with institutional participation. Bullish markets are like oxygen in this industry - when markets are buoyant everyone moves quickly and deals get done fast but when markets are weak no one wants to spend money and making deals happen is like wading through tar. Both things will happen but the bear market together with a host of other things have made players in the industry move more slowly.
3) There is more going on with Flare than at any point in the past. There are more users and thanks to FSA far greater distribution. FXRP remains the standard by which to deploy XRP and earn on it. We hope to replicate the same with FBTC. Growth has been slower than desired but everything is in place for when the broader market turns around.
4) Internally we are getting far higher inbounds both for immediate FXRP usecases, enquiries around utilising FBTC and perhaps most interestingly - other uses that Flare can offer. People want to use Flare not just for FXRP & FBTC - there is real demand for its data and privacy capabilities. We are building things in response to demand in areas that we had previously dismissed as far too hard to compete in - directly led by demand. These things will consolidate Flare’s position as a superior data network and that of FXRP as the preeminent version of XRP across chains. Potentially this will also apply to FBTC.
5) From DeFi for non smart contract tokens, to data, to compute and privacy Flare offers one of the best platforms out there for building great things. We build for the future of finance and AI that is coming.
When the broader market turns around Flare will be very well placed to capitalise on it.
With FIP16 in place the benefits to the community of that turn around will compound far more.

FIP.16 is being activated across both the execution and protocol-reward layers.
Today’s fork raises the C-chain base fee floor to 500 gwei, expands maximum validator stake to 300M FLR, and introduces a 20% minimum validator delegation fee.
Reward epoch 417 then activates the new vote-power and reward calculations, with P-chain stake weighted 5�� relative to C-chain delegation.
FTSO and FDC providers must upgrade to Flare Systems Deployment v1.5.4 and refresh their configuration before July 20 at 05:00 UTC.
Another major piece of FIP.16 is live.
Today's hard fork raises the base gas fee to 500 gwei (from 25).
Every transaction now burns more flare-networks:native, and validator capacity rises to 300M FLR.
What's next:
☀️ FDC request fees begin flowing to FIRE: 90% direct, 10% distributed alongside inflation.
☀️Vote power recalculates, with P-chain stake weighted 5× delegation.
Stake placed now is already counted when the new calculation goes live.
@ZachRector7 I mentioned to ask AI about these topics: Audio limiter, and volume maximizers. Limiters will help boost your volume without the dreaded audio distortion. You really only want about 7db of gain - after that and you might notice artifacts.
