Devs Welcome: Flare Incentivizes Builders with Focus on XRPFi and Stablecoins
Flare has launched the FAssets Incentive Program, allocating over 2.2 billion FLR to fuel cross-chain DeFi adoption. The initiative aims to strengthen key DeFi verticals, increase Total Value Locked (TVL), and promote institutional-grade functionality on Flare. With participation open through July 2026, the program reinforces Flare’s long-term commitment to XRPFi and decentralized finance infrastructure.
Flare Targets Modular DeFi Growth with FAssets Incentives
Flare is rolling out the FAssets Incentive Program as a direct continuation of the earlier FIP.09 strategy. The program focuses on expanding TVL and deepening market liquidity for wrapped assets like FXRP, FBTC, and FDOGE. It follows the rapid growth seen after initial incentive deployments, which pushed TVL from $9.95 million to $150 million.

The FLR incentives will drive adoption across four categories: DEX liquidity, lending, collateralized debt positions and yield derivatives. Flare expects these segments to attract capital and bring composability to the network. The incentives will be distributed dynamically depending on protocol impact and participation.
Flare will use the rNAT contract for distribution, maintaining compatibility with existing dApps and infrastructure. Each distribution epoch will run for 30 days with a standard vesting period. dApps will have 48 hours after each epoch to distribute rewards to eligible users.
$2.2 Billion FLR Strategy Builds on FIP.09 and Tokenomics Plan
The 2.2 billion FLR committed stems from the original cross-chain incentive allocation of 20 billion FLR. So far, Flare has only used a small portion of that, showing a measured and strategic rollout. As a result, the ecosystem retains over 19.4 billion FLR in reserve for future use.
FIP.09 initiated this strategy with a 510 million FLR incentive for core infrastructure like stablecoins, liquidity pools, and lending platforms. That foundation triggered a flywheel effect, pushing increased FAsset usage and enabling new DeFi use cases. Now, the current program aims to escalate that momentum.
Unutilized FLR from this new program will remain available for future network initiatives. This ensures sustainable growth and allows flexibility based on performance metrics. Every allocation will go to protocols with clear impact on liquidity and ecosystem scale.
Boosting DeFi Infrastructure and Attracting Builders
The program aims to create a modular and scalable DeFi stack using Flare-native and cross-chain assets. By supporting yield products, borrowing platforms, and overcollateralized stablecoins, Flare intends to attract high-performance protocols. These verticals aim to unlock more complex strategies and appeal to institutional players.
Flare’s internal DeFi team is actively onboarding developers and deploying FLR incentives to support innovation. The program positions Flare as a competitive player in smart contract interoperability and composable finance. Protocols that support USDT0, FXRP, and other wrapped assets will receive priority in allocation.
To enhance transparency, rewards will be tracked using the same oversight structures used in past incentive rounds. The incentive committee will monitor impact metrics like TVL, liquidity depth, and protocol engagement. This approach allows Flare to ensure FLR emissions match tangible network outcomes.
