📢Flare Official Announcements

Over 1.4 million rFLR has been distributed to more than a thousand addresses, worth over $37,000 🔥

If you’ve redeemed FXRP or used SGB as collateral, you may qualify for rewards!

How to claim ↴
1. Connect with Bifrost Wallet on portal.flare.network and select the Flare network.
2. Click the “Emissions” tab and choose “Songbird FAssets.”

Find out how rewards are calculated: https://flare.network/incentives-for-fassets-on-songbird

🔖 How rFLR works: rFLR can be earned simultaneously with monthly FlareDrops. rFLR vests linearly over 12 months, with 1/12 claimable and withdrawable as WFLR monthly from the Portal. Early withdrawal of unvested rewards incurs a 50% penalty. For maximum returns, wait for full vesting.

Rewards epoch just ended, but why didn’t I see my rewards ❓

In FTSOv2, after the epoch ends, rewards are calculated and published as data. Data providers then sign the rewards, which may take a few days until 50% of the weight of data providers have signed. Once complete, the rewards become claimable.

Check the epoch status here: https://flare-systems-explorer.flare.network/reward-epoch

Recently, the Flare Time Series Oracle v2 went live on Flare mainnet, introducing changes to FTSO rewards.

The implementation has 3 phases:
• Trial: Reward allocation remains unchanged – Phase Complete ✅
• Beta: Rewards are split 50/50 between v1 and v2 data providers – In Progress ⏳
• Deprecation: V1 will be deprecated, meaning only v2 data providers receive rewards – 21 November ‼️

During the Deprecation phase, the Flare Foundation will update the Inflation contract so that only v2 data providers will receive rewards, while delegators will only earn rewards by delegating to v2 data providers.

For a full list of providers supporting v2, please refer to: https://flare-systems-explorer.flare.network/

🐦 SIP.04: https://proposals.flare.network/SIP/SIP_4.html
☀️ FIP.10: https://proposals.flare.network/FIP/FIP_10.html

The new incentive structure introduces a pass-based system where providers gain or lose passes based on meeting minimum participation requirements across all Flare protocols, affecting their rewards.

This system encourages providers to actively participate in all existing Flare protocols, leading to a more robust and diverse ecosystem.

📅 Voting for FIP.10 starts on October 18 on Flare, with SIP.04 voting on Songbird to follow on October 21. Stay tuned for a blog, thread, and further educational resources coming your way.

Flare Emissions Committee Quarterly Report 🔖

During the last epoch, the Flare Emissions Committee allocated rewards to dApps to begin bootstrapping liquidity on Flare. The following dApps distributed rFLR during this period:

SparkDEX
BlazeSwap
Kinetic
Ēnosys

These dApps emitted approximately 20.2 million rFLR out of the 60 million rFLR allocated for Q3. The committee remains mindful of avoiding excessive emissions relative to the yields generated and aims to gradually increase rFLR emissions as total value locked (TVL) grows. The unused rFLR from this quarter will be reserved for future allocations.

During this period, TVL increased from approximately $10 million to $15 million. Several additional dApps are scheduled to launch on Flare in the upcoming quarter and are expected to join the $rFLR program. ☀️

Learn more: https://flare.network/new-flare-defi-emissions-program-provides-industry-leading-yields/

As onchain finance continues to expand, the demand for secure, cost-effective, and scalable oracle systems rises ☀️

FTSOv2 Rewards — How They Work in Simple Math 🔓

🔴 V1 Rewards

Epoch 223: 100%
Epoch 224: 100%
Epoch 225: 100%

🟡 V1 + V2 (Transition)

Epoch 226: 50%
Epoch 227: 50%
Epoch 228: 50% from V1 + 50% from V2 (from Epoch 226)
Epoch 229: 50% from V1 + 50% from V2 (from Epoch 227)

In short, you’ll receive your 50% rewards for Epochs 226 and 227 in future epochs, as long as you've delegated to data providers who are registered and submitted data on time in V2.

---------

❔ FAQs

1️⃣ Why didn't I see similar rewards in Epoch 228 compared to what I received previously (before V2)?

The reduced rewards could be resulting from the V2 portion (50%) as some providers didn't submit reveals on time incurring a penalty (designed to promote better performance). We understand this is a new system and the changes will take time to stabilize. We have identified the root cause quickly and informed providers to take the necessary steps for better price submissions going forward.

2️⃣ What will happen from Epoch 230 onwards?

From Epoch 230 onward, the rewards will stay the same as in Epoch 229 until we deprecate V1. The deprecation date for V1 is still being confirmed and will happen gradually, starting with Songbird and then Flare.

Thank you so much for your support on our journey as we work to deliver our vision and values ☀️

If you’ve been exploring Flare, you might have come across three types of rewards:

➖ FlareDrops
➖ FTSO Delegation Rewards
➖ FLR Staking Rewards

Learn all about them in the latest episode of FlareExplainers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYadnGCjL8I

FTSOv1 rewards are reduced in epochs 226 (ended today) and 227 due to the V2 deployment entering the beta phase, where rewards will be split 50/50 between V1 and V2. The first V2 rewards will start with epoch 228. To maximize your rewards, delegate ASAP to registered V2 entities.
