The poll generated great interest among Flare Network's Twitter community. Out of 64,000 followers, 11,546 crypto enthusiasts decided to take part in it.

What are F-Assets？

According to the official explanation by Flare Networks, an F-Asset should be referred to 1:1 representation on Flare of any token from another chain. Due to the trustless design of Flare, the bridge between the two protocols is established in a decentralized manner with no third party involved.

FXRP, an XRP-pegged token, will be the first one to go live on Flare. Also, recently, Flare Networks announced the integration of the Litecoin-based FLTC token.

Furthermore, Flare will be Ethereum-compatible from day one. Flare, a Turing-complete blockchain, the utilizes FBA mechanism and Avalanche consensus. Flare's first mainnet release is expected in May 2021.
