Introduction to Flare (FLR)
This course provides a structured overview of the Flare Network (FLR), a Layer 1 blockchain designed to support smart contracts, decentralized data access, and cross-chain interoperability. Through technical modules, learners will understand how Flare integrates external data into on-chain applications, supports non-smart contract assets, and maintains network security and governance. The course is intended for those seeking practical knowledge of Flare’s architecture, tokenomics, protocol features, and governance systems.
About the Course
The course is divided into seven modules and covers all major components of the Flare Network, including its foundational technology, main features, ecosystem tools, and governance framework. It outlines the operational logic of FLR token utility, network infrastructure, and the mechanisms that support decentralized applications, staking, and protocol expansion. Each module includes real examples, detailed explanations, and technical concepts aimed at professionals, developers, and researchers interested in blockchain infrastructure and design.
What You Will Learn
- The foundational architecture of Flare as an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain.
- How Flare integrates external data through the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) and Flare Data Connector (FDC).
- The structure and use of FAssets for enabling non-smart contract tokens in decentralized applications.
- The role of FLR tokens in supporting staking, governance, and transaction execution.
- Flare’s approach to token allocation, inflation, and long-term economic sustainability.
- How Flare 2.0 introduces Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Protocol Managed Wallets (PMWs) for cross-chain automation.
- The function of projects like Noves, Subsquid, and Envio in supporting Flare’s ecosystem and infrastructure.
- How validator and RPC nodes contribute to network security and application interaction.
- The governance system of Flare, including WFLR-based voting and proposal submission through FIPs, SIPs, and STPs.
- The role of the Songbird network in testing governance upgrades before mainnet implementation.
