Flare is a Layer 1 blockchain whose security is rooted in decentralized proof-of-stake consensus, underpinned by a large set of validators. But that's not all. By enshrining the FTSO (Flare Time Series Oracle) and FDC (Flare Data Connector) directly into our core protocol, Flare provides every data source with complete economic security across the entire network. That means trustless, manipulation-resistant prices and external data are secured by the same validators, weighted voting, and incentives that secure the chain itself. Security is not an afterthought: it is a priority embedded in our core system.
