Looking forward to speaking at @encodeclub on Friday! I'll be discussing Flare's developer hub optimisation for AI-driven coding, positioning for TEE-enabled applications, the extension of private + verifiable compute, and our approach to onchain finance, starting with #XRPfi!

Flare Smart Accounts: built for XRP holders on the XRPL who wish to use Flare's onchain financial protocols without the complexity. Tooling infra that works under the hood to simplify the user journey. Today, we move one step closer to becoming a fintech integration layer.

New: @FlareNetworks and @XamanWallet launch one-click DeFi access for $XRP holders, letting users deposit into yield-generating vaults in a single transaction, without bridging or leaving their wallet.

LATEST: ⚡ Flare has launched the first XRP spot market on Hyperliquid through its FXRP token, with Flare co-founder Hugo Philion saying they seek to expand what XRP can do across DeFi.

So here's what's going to happen very soon: 1. @FlareNetworks + @XRPLLabs 🤝 2. No need to create another wallet 3. Earn yield safely and fully self custodial on your XRP on Flare 4. Without having to leave @XamanWallet

Happy New Year. I have 2 Flare goals for 2026: • Get TVL to $5Bn • Make the network stronger and with greater self sustainability

LATEST: ⚡ A new XRP yield product called earnXRP has launched on Flare Network, aiming for 4%-10% returns by deploying capital across various on-chain strategies, including staking and liquidity provision.

I’m excited to share the launch of @ProofRails, a project I’ve been building to help crypto speak the language the financial system already runs on: ISO 20022. As institutional adoption accelerates, interoperability stops being a “nice to have.” If crypto rails want to connect cleanly with banks, PSPs, and real-world reporting, transactions need more than a hash. They need structured records and verifiable evidence. ProofRails translates onchain payouts into ISO-style records, packages them into a deterministic, signed evidence bundle, and can anchor the bundle hash onchain for a public timestamp and integrity check. Flare is a key part of this. ProofRails anchors the evidence on Flare, which means apps on @FlareNetworks can plug into ProofRails and generate ISO-style records and proofs without reinventing the reporting and verification layer. If you’re a developer building wallets, stablecoin flows, PSP infrastructure, DeFi rails, or tokenization and RWA systems, I’d love your help shaping this into a real standard. Dive into the repo, try the flow, and reach out if you want to integrate or contribute. If you’re an investor tracking the infrastructure layer behind institutional crypto adoption, feel free to connect as well. We are not raising right now, but we will be in the future and I’m happy to start the conversation early.

Building an ecosystem around an asset like XRP is so much more than opening up a custodial bridge like cbXRP and others (cough cough). You need: •Seamless on and off boarding to lower the barrier to participation to the absolute minimum.  ◦As a starting point this means that the Bridge HAS to be non custodial - because limiting the minting and redemption ability to the customers of a single exchange or custodian is just disastrous for market formation. As YOU aren’t a customer of theirs do you really want to have to sell your XRP on an exchange for a stable coin and then withdraw that stable to another chain and then buy their wrapped version of XRP - probably not. The second part of seamlessness is UI & UX, see @BifrostWallet , @OxenFlow & soon XRP smart accounts @FlareDevHub which changes the game entirely.  •A cohesive end to end economic ecosystem for the bridged token. You need all the basic defi primitives see: @SparkDexAI , SparkDex & @flamix_trade perps, @enosys_global , Enosys loans, @Kinetic_Markets , @spectra_finance , @blazeswapdex , @IgniteMarketX .  ◦Then you need something special that brings it all together and provides ecosystem differentiation. See @Firelightfi •Then you need to bootstrap liquidity. In reality this means onboarding the omnichain version of the world’s largest stablecoin. See @USDT0_to . And of course working towards having the stablecoin that the community really wants. See RLUSD @Ripple •But none of this works by itself you have to bootstrap liquidity because if there isn’t liquidity the user experience is terrible and the financial incentives are broken. See the growth of USDT0 and rFLR.  •Then you need to be continually innovating to make both the experience and the product better. See Flare 2.0 and compute. flare.network/news/flare-vis… •Lastly you need to be constantly working with partners new and old to encourage ecosystem growth, working on education and both user and developer resources and marketing the hell out of the ecosystem because there is so much going on that making yourself visible is paramount.  •Then if your aim is to be the seamless hub for all non smart contract tokens you need to repeat the same for BTC, XLM and the rest. Time, team, dedication and unwavering vision is what is required. Throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks hasn’t worked historically - not even for mega giants like Coinbase. This is why Flare is the place to build with XRP.

2025 was a busy year It began with a strategic growth planning offsite, mapping FAsset + DeFi ecosystem launches/metrics.. Rewarding to see these start to come to fruition. And institutional capital is yet to arrive. Next : Flare vision for 2026 (and unlocking insti capital)
