Flare Wallet for All Devices
Flare is a layer-one blockchain built to bring reliable real-world data into smart contracts without relying on a single source. It also lets assets from networks like XRP, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin participate in Ethereum-compatible DeFi for the first time. FLR is the native token of the Flare network. Holders use it to participate in the data infrastructure, vote on governance, and pay transaction fees. Many people who hold FLR wonder where to keep their tokens safely. CEX.IO offers a highly secured and convenient wallet app. In our guide, we will talk about what features the safest FLR wallet should have and how you can create an easily accessible FLR wallet on CEX.IO.
Types of wallets for keeping digital assets
Crypto wallets are similar to traditional wallets but, unlike conventional ones that hold paper money, they are designed to hold virtual currency. If you are not sure where to store your digital assets, think of creating a crypto wallet on CEX.IO.
Digital wallets for cryptocurrency come in various formats, each with its own benefits in terms of convenience and security. But regardless of the format, the protection of your funds remains your responsibility. Keep the passwords that give you access to your digital wallet highly protected.
What is Flare (FLR)?
Flare is an EVM-compatible layer-one blockchain built specifically for data-intensive applications. It launched its mainnet in January 2023. The network runs smart contracts written in Solidity — the same language developers use on Ethereum — which means the entire Ethereum developer toolset works on Flare without modification.
What sets Flare apart from standard EVM blockchains is its built-in data infrastructure. Most blockchains need a third-party oracle to bring external price data or off-chain events into smart contracts. Flare builds this functionality directly into the protocol, so the data layer is native to the network and does not depend on any single provider.
FLR is the native token of Flare. The initial supply was set at 15 billion FLR following the FIP.01 governance vote. New issuance is capped at 5 billion FLR per year, calculated only on already-distributed tokens. FLR is an EVM-compatible token, so any Ethereum-compatible wallet can store it. Holders delegate FLR to participate in data provisioning, vote on governance, and pay network fees.
