What is the Flare Network?
Flare is a layer-1 blockchain that launched in July 2022. It began by airdropping 15% of Flaire (FLR) tokens to eligible XRP holders.
The remaining 85% of FLR tokens were distributed over time to users who held Wrapped Flare (WFLR), with the final distribution occurring on January 30, 2026.
You can check out the official Flare network blog to stay up-to-date with the Flare network.
What is the difference between the Flare Network snapshot and the initial Flare airdrop?
The Flare Network snapshot took place at 0:00 UTC on December 12, 2020, capturing the XRP balances of all XRP addresses. This snapshot determined eligibility for the FLR airdrop.
To qualify, users had to register their XRP address before June 12, 2021.
The initial FLR airdrop occurred on January 9, 2023, at 23:59 UTC, when 15% of the total FLR tokens were distributed to eligible users based on their XRP balance at the time of the snapshot.
How did Exodus handle the Flare airdrop?
If you held XRP in your Exodus wallet during the Flare snapshot and registered your XRP address before June 12, 2021, you were eligible for the Flare (FLR) airdrop.
Exodus didn't support FLR at the time of the airdrop. To ensure users could still access their tokens, Exodus provided a Flare airdrop private key, which could be used in a supported wallet to claim FLR.
Now that Exodus supports FLR, your FLR wallet in Exodus has its own private key. This key is different from the Flare airdrop private key. Your standard wallet private key will not access the FLR airdrop funds unless they were manually imported or moved.

Please be very careful with your 12-word secret key and private keys, because they control access to your funds. Never share them with anyone, and only import them into platforms that you trust 100%. If you choose to import your secret key or private keys into a third-party platform, you do so at your own risk.

In your Flare wallet, a) click the menu in the upper right-hand corner of your wallet, and b) click Move Funds.
a) Paste your Flare airdrop private key in the FLR private key field, then b) click Move Funds. This will move your airdropped FLR from your Flare airdrop address to your Exodus Flare address. Because this creates a transaction, it will incur a transaction fee.
