Flare (FLR)

We at Flare are running a hackathon all summer, and I personally will be monitoring it. How I see it is more about working together, explaining Flare tech, and learning from you. I actually have prior experience mentoring startups. Excited about this.

Doubling down on our builders this summer. ☀️

Announcing Flare Summer Signal: a product-oriented online hackathon for teams building useful products on Flare.

Start something new, bring an existing app to Flare, or build a meaningful new integration. The goal is simple: create something with real utility and a reason to keep growing after the hackathon ends.

$12,000 in prizes across two tracks:

1. Interoperable Asset Products
Build products that make assets more useful across Flare and connected ecosystems.

2. Confidential Compute Apps
Build privacy-preserving applications using Flare Confidential Compute.

Development opens today, June 29.
Final submissions close August 14.

This summer is for builders!

Cycles are interesting in that they have zero regard for reality. Vs even 1 year ago Flare is in an inconceivably better utility position. More is coming with Flare 2.0, further expansion of XRPFi, the coming onboarding of meaningful institutional partners (finally), FSA is working to abstract away complexity, FIRE and FIP16 change the token economics for the (vastly) better. And those are just the things that we can discuss publicly. Almost everything we have set out to do is being done (barring adding more FAssets - in the works) and by and large it’s working.
But if you look at the whole crypto market you would think the whole industry is finished - despite more institutional interest and greater clarity than ever before.

Unfortunately cycles are a fact of life, even Amazon had a 94% peak to trough drawdown when the .com cycle burst - but the internet didn’t go away nor did Amazon and neither will crypto and certainly not Flare - which presents more utility than almost anything else in the market.
