Flare Secures Funding to Boost Ecosystem and Liquidity
Flare, a layer-1 blockchain for data, has received funding from its early backers to enhance the Flare ecosystem and address liquidity concerns. The investment aims to reduce immediate liquidity while increasing investment in Flare. Notable investors, including Kenetic and Aves Lair, have extended token vesting periods, imposed limits on token sales, and contributed to the development of various aspects of the Flare ecosystem.
Flare Funding Details
The funding demonstrates a long-term commitment from Flare’s supporters and their dedication to safeguarding the community and fostering future growth. It also relieves some pressures from the token’s ecosystem. Key details of the funding include:
- Extension of token vesting period until Q1 2026
- Restriction on FLR sales to no more than 0.5% of daily volume
- Reinvestment of 50% of FLR sales proceeds into the ecosystem
These measures provide stability, encourage sustained participation in the network, combat volatility, and support decentralized finance (DeFi), Total Value Locked (TVL), and liquidity provision.
Hugo Philion, Co-founder of Flare, expressed gratitude for the continued support from early backers and highlighted their vital role in Flare’s growth.
What’s in it for the Flare Investors?
Under the new terms, early investors will still receive their agreed-upon cut of 2% of Flare token supply. However, there will be a reduction in upfront distribution and an extended vesting period until Q1 2026. This arrangement ensures that investors remain engaged with the network in the long run.
Jehan Chu, Founder of Kenetic, expressed confidence in Flare’s vision and expects exponential growth beyond initial expectations due to the investment in Flare’s economic and financial infrastructure.
