The Beta launch allows FTSO participants to become adept at validating the network.Īt the Beta launch, the validator structure will be as follows:

Notably, in the statement by the network, it is revealed that Flare will launch in Beta for 6 to 9 months, where network validation will be split between professional partners and Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) participants. It confirms rumors reported by The Crypto Basic on Tuesday that the Flare token distribution for XRP holders was scheduled between October and November. “Provided sufficient validators have taken up their role, the Token Distribution Event will take place between 24th October and 6th November,” the blog post reads. However, this depends on whether the network can attract a sufficient number of validators. The IRS has ramped up its guidance on airdrops in specific years, and has been pursuing crypto investors with rigor in recent years.In the blog post, Flare network confirms that the timeline for token distribution is between 24th October and 6th November. Spark tokens are being distributed on a 1:1 basis, meaning that crypto enthusiasts will receive one Spark token for every XRP they own.Īmericans who own XRP have been warned that receiving these airdropped tokens will be subject to tax-and this will be based on how much the cryptocurrency is worth when you gain control of it, rather than when you receive it. Over time, it’s hoped this will help Ripple become a compelling rival to developers who wish to launch decentralized finance protocols and decentralized apps.Ī total of 100 billion Spark tokens have been created, and 45 billion of them have been up for grabs among existing XRP holders, with the exception of Ripple Labs. If anything, the main reason it exists is to prevent spam attacks. Whereas the security of Ethereum’s blockchain will eventually hinge upon the validators who have staked ETH, Flare says Spark won’t have a role in securing the network. The project is aiming to create a crucial point of difference from Eth 2.0, which will run on a proof-of-stake network once the long-awaited-and still fairly far off-upgrade is complete. The decentralized network aims to bring “full smart contract utility to the XRP ecosystem”-and the team explained over the summer: “Spark is created through what may be the first ever utility fork whereby the origin network, in this case the XRP Ledger, benefits through increased utility.” Spark is the token that’ll run on the Flare Network, a blockchain that’s yet to launch.

That said, the price is still nearly twice what it was in mid-November, when it started ascending. 24 high and more than 16% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap. But since the airdrop, which was supported by major exchanges including Coinbase (after months of uncertainty), XRP has declined substantially-giving it by far the worst performance of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization over the past seven days.Īt the time of writing, XRP has stabilized at about $0.50, down 27.5% from its Nov. Considering that XRP doesn’t exactly have a reputation for being an altcoin that enjoys triple-digit price gains, this was significant.Īlthough prices have cooled in recent days, they had largely stayed resilient.
