Flare

Overview

Flare is the blockchain for data , offering developers and users secure, decentralized access to high-integrity data from other chains and the internet. Flare's Layer-1 network uniquely supports enshrined data protocols at the network layer, making it the only EVM-compatible smart contract platform optimized for decentralized data acquisition, including price and time-series data, blockchain event and state data, and Web2 API data.

Units

Each flare is comprised of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1018) wei, so not even a single flare can be stored numerically without exceeding the range of JavaScript numbers. Gas fees are denoted in gwei.

  • 1 flare = 1018 wei
  • 1 wei = 10-18 flare
  • 1 gwei = 10-9 flare

For that reason, only string balance properties are available, which are balanceString, confirmedBalanceString, and spendableBalanceString.

Tokens

The Flare blockchain natively supports tokens.

Stake

Staking is out of scope for these chains as they don’t have native support for them.
