However, exceptions can be made here when crypto exchanges that issues IOUs claims for the FLR token. With the snapshot that took place on Dec. 12, an XRP community member evaluated the data of the airdrop.

According to the member, a total of 110,259 accounts and 23.5 million XRP participated. There were 30% (7.1 million XRP) of self-hosted wallets, while exchange wallets accounted for the rest. A total of 51,000 new accounts were also created just to participate in the Spark token airdrop.
<h2><strong>Flare Finance Launches Beta Program</strong></h2>
Meanwhile, Flare Finance has launched a beta version and introduced a beta program. Over 200 testers were invited on the Coston testnet to check the performance and UX of the new system.

Flare Finance will also perform an airdrop for all FLR token holders a month after the mainnet launch of the Flare Network takes place.

All the holders of FLR except the Flare Foundation will receive 40 million DFLRs (DAO Flares). It can then be exchanged for YFLRs on the platform. However, the time period for the swap will be only for a week. On the 7th day, all unused YFLRs will be burned or moved to the reserve pool.
