Ripple-backed blockchain platform Flare Network will be distributing 45 Billion Spark tokens to all XRP holders of non-custodial wallets. The air drop is planned take place on December 12th this year.
The Flare’s native token Spark will be generated through a “utility fork” in XRP. XRP holders will receive Spark tokens in 1:1 ration. Meaning there will be 100 billion Spark token in total. while Spark works independently on the Flare Network, it still holds some relation with XRP.
Currently, only four cryptocurrency exchanges (Uphold, Bitrue, Gatehub and Anchorusd) will be supporting the upcoming airdrop. Large exchanges like Binance and Crypto.com have not released any official statements regarding the support of Spark airdrop.
The Flare Network will integrate the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This will allow the network to execute smart contracts on Ethereum using the XRP cryptocurrency via FXRP. For smart contracts, payments will happen in XRP through Interledger integrated into Flare. In this case, Spark will help to collateralize the FXRP. All the people using Spark and providing it as collateral will earn fees.
