Songbird is the canary network for Flare, the blockchain designed for universal connectivity. Flare's State Connector, the first new blockchain interoperability primitive, enables better bridging, complete cross-chain composability, and seamless decentralized integration with Web2 data. This allows Flare to reach consensus on external data, enabling the trustless acquisition and utilization of information from both on-chain and off-chain sources. As a result, the oracle problem is resolved, paving the way for a new era of utility. Fast, decentralized, and fully-insured bridges can connect smart contract chains in a multilateral manner, consolidating liquidity instead of fragmenting it. Non-smart contract assets like BTC, XRP, and DOGE can be introduced to Flare and utilized to generate yield in DeFi. Decentralized applications can leverage the value, liquidity, and information of multiple blockchains while seamlessly connecting to Web2 data through a single deployment on Flare. Flare acts as a unifying force for blockchain, scaling Web3 for the next generation with native interoperability protocols that offer high throughput, low fees, and low carbon footprint. Connect everything.
