In a groundbreaking development that promises to redefine the crypto landscape, XRP holders are on the brink of gaining unprecedented access to smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).
This is made possible through the innovative efforts of Flare Networks’ FAssets project and LayerCake bridging protocol. The development of a wrapped version of XRP, known as FXRP, is underway. It aims to integrate XRP with Flare Networks and potentially unlock the gates to other ecosystems.

Flare Networks’ FAssets project is a pioneering initiative that seeks to bring traditional assets like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and XRP into smart contracts. This is achieved by minting “wrapped” versions of these assets on the Flare Network.
These wrapped tokens, such as FXRP, are then empowered to interact with DeFi protocols, participate in dApps, and even be staked for rewards, heralding a new era of possibilities for these assets.
The advent of FXRP is a momentous milestone for XRP enthusiasts. Not only will users gain access to the functionalities of the Flare Network, but they will also have the opportunity to bridge their FXRP to other blockchain ecosystems via LayerCake, Flare’s secure bridging solution. This development paves the way for exciting possibilities, such as participating in dApps built on other chains and venturing into new DeFi landscapes.
Hugo Philion, co-founder of Flare Networks, envisions a future where dApp developers can leverage FXRP alongside other FAssets like FDOGE and FBTC to create interoperable applications.
This paints a picture of a DeFi platform where users can seamlessly interact with assets from various blockchains. This could potentially lead to a more interconnected and efficient DeFi ecosystem.

Philion also highlights the potential influence of Hooks on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Hooks are proposed additions to enable smart contract functionalities directly on the XRPL. While they are not yet implemented due to ongoing discussions and testing, their existence could significantly enhance the synergy between Flare and XRPL. Flare could serve as a conduit, channeling data to dApps built on the XRPL through Hooks.
The FAssets project is currently in a private beta testing phase. As more entities join and the project advances, the launch of FXRP and its associated bridging capabilities draws nearer. This development has the potential to broaden XRP’s reach and functionality within the evolving crypto landscape.
