Flare Network Hits 67% Delegation and Staking Milestone

• Over 67% of the FLR circulating supply is now securing the network through staking and delegation.
• No single provider controls more than 3.3%, ensuring strong decentralization within the Flare ecosystem.

Flare Network has made another surprise. This time, the network has managed to set a new record in terms of staking participation and FLR token delegation. A total of around 27 billion FLR have been delegated, and another 8.5 billion are locked in staking.

If calculated, that number covers around 67% of the total circulating supply. Not a small number of course. Interestingly, no single provider dominates. No one controls more than 3.3%. For a network that carries a mission of decentralization, this achievement is a kind of silent validation that they are on the right track.

Flare just hit an all-time high for staked + delegated FLR.

~ 27B FLR delegated
~ 8.5B FLR staked

That’s ~67% of total circulating supply securing the network — and no single provider holding more than 3.3%.

That’s strong decentralization.

Flare: A Protective Move for Fairness

On the other hand, Flare’s steps do not stop at staking. They also have a big agenda to reduce the token supply. Earlier this month, around 66 million FLR were burned, as part of a long-term plan to destroy a total of 2.1 billion tokens by January 2026. In total since this program began, more than 198 million FLR have been destroyed.

Interestingly, this burning is not just about reducing the supply. This mechanism is designed as a kind of safeguard so that early investors cannot be greedy and take FlareDrops shares outside their portion. Just imagine if this mechanism did not exist, the story of FLR distribution could have been a mess from the start.

Furthermore, this also shows how Flare is trying to maintain a balance between incentives and network stability. They are not just busy promoting, but really building a foundation for their ecosystem to grow healthily. And those are not empty words.

On February 2, 2025, Flare was mentioned as one of three cryptos worth monitoring along with Litentry and Pi Network. The assessment came because of the spike in network activity and the potential for ecosystem growth in the midst of a market that… yes, is quite heart-racing.

Pushing Innovation Beyond the Network

Not only that, Flare is also expanding the scope of its technology. One example is the collaboration with Google Cloud to hold the “Verifiable AI Hackathon” at UC Berkeley, early February 2025.

The prize provided reaches $100,000. The goal? Exploring the combination of AI and blockchain, two hot topics. Not just for style, but to encourage the birth of real applications based on verified data on a truly open network.

Meanwhile, from the market side, FLR is also quite bright. When this article was written, its price rose 3.01% in the last 24 hours and 6.44% in the last 7 days. Trading at around $0.01639, this figure could change, but it remains an indicator that the market is responding positively to the latest steps from the Flare team.
