Unlike Flare this would not be over the implementation of changes to Songbird itself (as Songbird is subordinated for Flare for that purpose). Similar to Flare the SGB token can be used to perform a governance role. You will need to ask them to distribute it to you. If you claimed your FLR through an exchange they will receive SGB on your behalf. If you claimed FLR through self custody, you will use the same Ethereum style address but with a different chain ID to access Songbird. There will be no pre-defined minting rewards pool, instead that supply will remain with the Flare Foundation. This means for every 1 XRP that was held at the time of snapshot 0.1511 SGB will be allocated. Total starting supply will be 15 Billion with initial inflation of 10% per annum through the FTSO and validator rewards systems. Songbird will have its own token, Songbird ($SGB), which will be distributed once only and in the same ratio to all the same recipients of the FLR distribution. This might generally appeal to lower value applications whereas Flare might appeal to applications handling greater amounts of value. This makes Songbird its own type of network which may be useful, in isolation, to applications that do not need the intended stability of Flare, but which wish to enjoy the core Flare protocols and potentially more advanced features that Songbird may offer ahead of Flare. Innovations and new dApp launches will happen first on Songbird and then may be rolled out on Flare after testing.
The use of Songbird as the testbed for potential updates to Flare means that between Flare and Songbird, Songbird will often be the more advanced network. Second, as a way for FLR token holders to familiarize themselves with key Flare protocols such as delegation to the FTSO, minting of F-Assets and usage of applications that build on Flare without putting their FLR tokens at risk.įlare will launch with all the tested core protocols, FTSO, initial F-Assets and StateConnector. Ideally all applications that launch on Flare, especially those that utilize the FTSO and F-Asset systems will test initially on Songbird. First, advanced testing and community building for applications that wish to launch on Flare. In all periods Songbird has two other core uses. Post Flare launch, Songbird is intended to be a long term network for testing governance led changes to Flare, such as the incorporation of new F-Assets, changes to the FTSO, F-Asset systems or any other network change. The FTSO and F-Asset protocols will be live on Songbird with F-Assets generated from the underlying tokens.This will improve the security, stability and credibility for the ultimate launch of Flare.
Canary mail vs spark mail series#
Prior to the launch of Flare, Songbird will be instrumental in the continued testing of the Flare Time Series Oracle, the StateConnector and F-Asset systems and the network architecture. Songbird is the Canary network for Flare, it will have two distinct phases. Polkadot is the originator of the Canary network concept, with their Kusama Network. This allows for the hardening of the system under testing.
The defined and scarce token supply may confer value to the token, potentially making it attractive to attackers such that testing is as “real” as it can possibly get. This is in contrast to a testnet which generally has an unlimited token supply available in increments to any user through a faucet.
On a Canary network users have a balance that cannot just be replenished at will. What is a Canary Network?Ī “Canary network” is an operational blockchain with a defined (and hence scarce) token supply that is intended to be used to test features for a related main net. In the next 6 weeks we will be releasing a “Canary” network for Flare called Songbird. We will now progress to live testing on an operational blockchain in an adversarial environment. Our testing has now reached a point with many elements where little more can be understood from further testing on an isolated test network. At Flare we have been conducting extensive testing of the network and the various core Flare protocols that are intended to provide utility. We are excited to release our updated plans on the development and launch of Flare. Introducing Songbird, the Canary Network for Flare
