💪 Top Tips for Staying Safe! ✅
First and foremost, it's unfortunate to see @x doing a terrible job of protecting their users from scams as we so often see within the Flare Community.
That being said, instead of pointing out every single variation of a scam, I'll tell you the lessons to follow to stay safe no matter what.
🔸1. Do not enter your secret phrase / your private key into any website, no matter what.
🔸2. Treat any website or any person that asks you for your secret phrase / your private key as a scam.
🔸3. Do not sign a transaction from an unknown website if you're unsure what that transaction does.
----------------------------------------
It really is that simple, but often, scammers try to deceive you in hopes of you abandoning these rules in favour or riches! Here are some of their common tactics:
🚨Time Pressure: You may often feel a sense of urgency to act when engaging in a scam, simply because this pressure seems to discombobulate people are encourage them to throw all common sense out of the window.
🚨Impersonation: Often scammers impersonate your favourite Flare Network team member, your favourite community leader or favourite dApp as a sense of authority. Anyone can say their Hugo, and change their profile picture to Hugo, but it does not make them Hugo.
🚨 Promises of Riches: Ever wanted to double your FLR in a matter of seconds? Or gain access to a secret group / insider knowledge? Or maybe get a heads up on an early activity on the network that gives you a humongous advantage over everyone else? Of course, but that's not how trustworthy organisations work...
Don't be lured in with your greed, if something is too good to be true, it probably is.
----------------------------------------
Here are some examples of "opportunities" / scams we so often see within the community:
⚠️ @HugoPhilion messages you via DM for a secret opportunity to 3x your $FLR? Sorry to break it to you, that's not Hugo.
⚠️ @Firelightfi announce early participant $XRP airdrop to reward their community, Sorry to break it to you, that's not Firelight.
⚠️ @FlareNetworks secret FIP.589 to burn all the FLR in their treasury, and use any remaining stable to market buy and send FLR to the moon. Sorry to break it to you, that's not Flare.
⚠️ New #NFT just landed in you wallet with a picture that says your account is at risk and you must visit a special website to secure it? Sorry to break it to you, that's just a picture that directs you to a malicious website.
----------------------------------------
As FLR grows in popularity due to what is being built, you can bet we will see more of this activity. Don't give your FLR away so easily, follow the 3 rules above and you should be fine!
🙏 RT for exposure & stay safe! ❤️
More FIP.16 changes are coming to Flare, and they reward the people who stake.
We're walking through the hard fork, the new reward epoch, and the staking window, live with @0xQuantic and CPO @j00sko.
Set your reminder👇
~13% on @USDT0_to on Flare is one of the best stable opportunities in the ecosystem right now.
@superformxyz is one of the easiest ways to get there.
This upgrade adds bank onramps, passkey security, and cross-chain deposits.
Get in on one of the better routes into USDT0 opportunities on Flare right now ☀️
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.
Four years ago today, Flare Mainnet reached genesis.
What began in observation mode has grown into infrastructure for decentralized data, cross-chain assets, and confidential computation.
The FIRE flywheel lit up. Fees started flowing.
Next: the engine gets calibrated — to reward the people who hold it together.
The final phase of setup is almost here☀️
Just staking on Flare is the best yield opportunity? No way. Check out the Yield Hub, risk labeled, APR filtered, verified routes, easy to use. Just paste a wallet and check your positions.

Cycles are interesting in that they have zero regard for reality. Vs even 1 year ago Flare is in an inconceivably better utility position. More is coming with Flare 2.0, further expansion of XRPFi, the coming onboarding of meaningful institutional partners (finally), FSA is working to abstract away complexity, FIRE and FIP16 change the token economics for the (vastly) better. And those are just the things that we can discuss publicly. Almost everything we have set out to do is being done (barring adding more FAssets - in the works) and by and large it’s working.
But if you look at the whole crypto market you would think the whole industry is finished - despite more institutional interest and greater clarity than ever before.
Unfortunately cycles are a fact of life, even Amazon had a 94% peak to trough drawdown when the .com cycle burst - but the internet didn’t go away nor did Amazon and neither will crypto and certainly not Flare - which presents more utility than almost anything else in the market.
Every cycle teaches the same lesson, and every time we forget it: near the bottom it always feels like the end, but it never is.
I believe that we're closer to the turn than the mood would have you believe. The roadmap ahead is the thing we're here for. At Flare we trust in the process to ship great product - knowing that is the only true path to winning. Flare will emerge from this brutal winter fighting fit and offering more than ever for the next cycle.
Flare Confidential Compute is ready to deploy on Songbird.
