ℹ️ About Flare network and Spark ticket (SPARK)
Flare Networks is a smart contract utility fork from Ripple. This consensus protocol will enable smartly developed contracts to run on the XRP Ledger using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Spark is the native signal of the Flare network. It is mainly used to control spam in the network. Other use cases of the token include collateral in applications, contributor to oracle, and governance on the Flare network.
Attention Spotlight sparkle
To promote a new consensus protocol, 45 billion Spark (FLR) is paying attention. On December 12, 2020, a snapshot of all XRP accounts is taken to determine how many tickets each XPR holder will receive. Later, when the Airdrop takes place, the SPARK tickets are sent to XRP holders at a ratio of approximately 1: 1.
To participate in the ticket distribution, you only need to top up your CEX.IO account with some XRP.
⚙️ How CEX.IO will handle the comment
The CEX.IO team will handle the comment preparation as follows:
- XRP deposits and withdrawals will be suspended initially from December 11, 2020, at 10:00 PM (UTC).
- Then we’ll take a look at all the XRP tokens that CEX.IO users have on December 12, 2020, at 00:00 AM (UTC).
- An hour after the snapshot we will enable deposits and withdrawals.
- XRP trading on CEX.IO and on CEX.IO Broker will not be affected.
Once the project completes the SPARK token distribution CEX.IO will credit SPARK tokens to all eligible XRP holders. We will publish the distribution further in our official channels.
We kindly pay your attention that the supporting this comment does not warrant listing SPARK in CEX.IO. We will be subject to the SPARK ticket for our standard review of the listing process. Should we decide to list SPARK on CEX.IO, we will make an additional announcement.
