The canary network for Flare, the blockchain designed for global communication, is Songbird. Flare's State Connector, the first brand-new blockchain interoperability primitive, offers improved bridging, complete cross-chain composability, and seamless decentralized interaction with Web2 data. By enabling Flare to reach agreement on external data, it eliminates the oracle problem and ushers in a new era of usefulness by enabling the secure acquisition and use of data from both on- and off-chain sources. Smart contract chains may be connected multilaterally via quick, decentralized, and fully guaranteed bridges, combining liquidity rather than splintering it. Non-smart contract assets such as BTC, XRP and DOGE can be brought on to Flare, and put to work earning yield in DeFi. Decentralized applications can use the value, liquidity and information of multiple blockchains and seamlessly connect to Web2 data, all via a single deployment on Flare. Flare is a uniting force for blockchain, scaling Web3 for the next generation with native interoperability protocols that are high throughput, low fee and low carbon. Connect everything.
