XRP Gains Yield + Cover With Firelight: Is XRP Finally Getting Staking and Security in One Shot With Firelight?

“From risk to reward, the path is bright — XRP gains power through Firelight.”

Holders of XRP may now have a new avenue to safeguard the larger cryptocurrency community and earn incentives. For the first time, Firelight, a new DeFi protocol developed by Sentora and supported by Flare Network. 

It combines on-chain security with staking on XRP, sparking speculation over whether this could be a game-changer for the currency.

In addition to enabling XRP owners to stake their tokens and receive yield, Firelight’s staked value also offers a protection pool that compensates losses for DeFi projects that are vulnerable to attacks or hacks. 

Although it is delivered in a decentralised manner, this approach is similar to insurance in traditional finance.

“Systems like Firelight are becoming necessary with DeFi losing billions to hacks,” stated Connor Sullivan, Chief Strategy Officer of Firelight. 

He clarified that Firelight’s goal is to make decentralised money safer, more robust, and prepared for widespread use.

This is how it operates:

After being put into Firelight, XRP is transformed into stXRP, a liquid token that is transferable throughout the Flare ecosystem. In addition to supporting Firelight’s risk pool, stXRP receives payments based on the demand for protection. 

Firelight may use this pool to reimburse claims if a covered protocol experiences a verifiable loss.

Firelight adds a layer of security and transparency by integrating XRP into DeFi without the need for centralised bridges, thanks to Flare’s FAssets protocol.

Firelight might close a critical gap and increase ecosystem activity in XRP, which has a sizable market but few native staking options.
