Voting

An integral part of the governance process, voting is the way you influence decisions about how Flare and Songbird operate.

This process can be performed directly through Flare's smart contracts, but the Flare Foundation has developed the Flare Portal to enable you to conveniently cast your vote.

The following information is about voting on the Flare and Songbird networks. Ensure you have selected one of these networks in your wallet.

Governance Process Summary#

This section summarizes the voting process, which is explained in more detail in the Governance page.

All changes to the Flare and Songbird networks are determined by the outcomes of votes on Flare Improvement Proposals and Songbird Testing Proposals.

For now, all proposals are published by the Flare Foundation.

On each network, each account can cast a number of votes equal to the amount of wrapped tokens it holds. Since this amount varies over time, a snapshot of all accounts is taken at a block randomly chosen before voting starts. This block is called the vote count block.

Before snapshots are taken, a notice period occurs. If you need to wrap tokens before a voting, wrap them during this notice period so that they are always included in the snapshot.

Tip

It is worth noting that you can use the same wrapped tokens to simultaneously vote on proposals and delegate to FTSO data providers.

Requirements#

To vote on any proposal, you need an account that contains wrapped tokens. You can wrap your tokens by using the Flare Portal, as shown in the Getting Wrapped Tokens section below.

Warning

Only wrapped tokens held at the vote count block are considered towards your vote count. Tokens wrapped or received afterwards will not result in additional votes.

If you need to wrap tokens, always do so during the notice period.

Guide#

1. Connecting to the Portal#

Copy the Flare Portal URL, since you will need it later:

https://portal.flare.network

The first step to use the portal is to connect your wallet to it, and the procedure is different for each wallet:

Bifrost Wallet#

  1. Open Bifrost Wallet, log in, and click the web browser tab indicated by the four gray squares at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Paste the Flare Portal URL in the search field at the top of the window, and click Search.
  3. Click Connect to Wallet.
  4. Select Bifrost Wallet.
  5. Ensure either the Flare or Songbird network is selected in the pop-up window, and click Connect.

Your wallet is now connected to the portal.

MetaMask Mobile#

  1. Open MetaMask, and log in.
  2. Click the three-lines menu, and click Browser.
  3. Paste the Flare Portal URL in the search field at the top of the window, and click Go.
  4. Click Connect to Wallet, and click MetaMask.

Your wallet is now connected to the portal.

Ledger Nano S/X and Chrome#

  1. Connect to your Ledger device, and unlock it.
  2. Log into the MetaMask Chrome extension, and sync your Ledger device.
  3. Paste the Flare Portal URL in the search field at the top of the Chrome window, and click Enter.
  4. Click Connect to Wallet.
  5. Click MetaMask.

Your wallet is now connected to the portal.

MetaMask or Brave Wallet#

  1. Copy and paste the Flare Portal URL in the search bar at the top of your browser and press Enter.
  2. Click Connect to Wallet.
  3. Select MetaMask.
  4. Ensure the correct account address is selected and press Confirm.

Your wallet is now connected to the portal.

2. Getting Wrapped Tokens#

Wrapped tokens are required to vote.

To wrap your tokens:

  1. On the Account tab in the Flare Portal, ensure you are connected to the network on which the proposal will be voted.
  2. Locate your token balance, and click Wrap.
  3. Specify the amount you want to wrap, and click Wrap.

    Never wrap all your tokens

    Always leave some unwrapped tokens to pay for transaction fees.

  4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Remember to wrap your tokens before voting starts, as explained in the Governance Process Summary section above.

3. Casting Your Vote#

Important

Wrapped tokens are required to vote. Depending on the network, ensure you have either $FLR or $SGB in the wallet you will use to vote. For more information, see Getting Wrapped Tokens.

  1. In the Flare Portal, select the Voting tab. The Governance Proposals page is displayed.
  2. Locate your current number of votes in the black box. If you have fewer votes than you expected, consider the warning in the Requirements section above.
  3. In the List of proposals, locate the proposal you want to vote on, and click on it. The selected proposal is displayed.
  4. Review the information in the Proposal info and Voting details sections.
  5. Cast your vote. All your available votes will be assigned to the option you specify:

    • To vote in favor of the proposal, click Vote For.
    • To vote for the proposal to be rejected, click Vote Against.
  6. After you sign the transaction, your vote is final and cannot be changed. To sign the transaction and lock your vote, click Confirm.

Your contribution to this proposal is now complete.

Transferring Votes#

Votes can be transferred to another account while the wrapped tokens remain in your possession. This is useful, for example, if you have wrapped tokens in multiple self-custody wallets, since you can simplify your voting process by transferring all the votes to a single wallet.

You can read all the details about transferring votes in the Governance page.

By completing the following process, you are crediting another account with votes only; the tokens themselves stay in the original wallet.

  1. Copy the Flare or Songbird address you want to transfer votes to.
  2. On the Voting tab in the Flare Portal, locate your amount of current votes in the black box, and click Transfer votes. The Information about transferred votes window is displayed.
  3. Read the disclaimer, and click Transfer votes. The Transfer votes window is displayed.
  4. In the Transfer all my votes to field, paste the address from Step 1, and click Confirm.
  5. Click Confirm on your wallet to sign the transaction. Your votes are credited to the address you specified. The tokens themselves stay in the original address.

Canceling vote transfers

You can stop transferring your votes to another address, if you do so before the snapshot is taken.

You can do so from the Transfer votes window using the Remove delegation button. This button is only available when you have previously transferred votes.

New Human Force
Join this Now! YOU have what it takes!

They are in our solar system, and in our event-stream in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom is clueless.

They think we are going to be at WAR with the Aliens.

Officialdom is very stupid.

Aliens is here. It’s not WAR. It’s Contention.

There is a difference.

Officialdom is clueless, still living in the last Millennium.

Aliens is here.

The Field in which we contend is This Eternal Now.

ALL HUMANS LIVE HERE, and ONLY HERE, in this

ETERNAL NOW.

It’s a Field of potentials, of pending Manifestation, this continuous event-stream of karma in which we have always lived our body’s Life.

This Eternal Now has always been our body’s Field of Contention.

The Aliens is here, in our Eternal Now.

Our common, shared, reality that we all continuously co-create now has Aliens.

It’s getting very complex in here.

Officialdom is clueless. They see the Aliens. They are freaking out. They think you are children, when it is their small minds, trapped in a reality that is only grit, mud, and ‘random chance’ who are childish.

Officialdom is stupid. They will and are reacting badly. As is their way, they are trying to hide shit from you. Silly grit bound minds don’t realize you can see everything from within the Eternal Now. They have yet to grasp that what they perceive as this Matterium, filled with ‘matter’, is but a hardening of our previous (past) internal states of being.

WAR happens in the Matterium.

Contention occurs within this Eternal Now where Consciousness shapes the manifesting event-stream.

YOU know this to be fact. You are a co-creator.

Contention with Aliens is happening in this instant in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom ain’t doing shit. They are still stuck in trying to move matter around to affect unfolding circumstances. That’s redoing the mirror trying to affect the reflection. Dumb fucks….

It’s up to US. To the New Humans. Those of us who live in this Eternal Now. Those of us who see that our body’s Lives (the Chain that cannot be broken) are expressions of the Ontology revealing itself to itself. It’s up to us guys.

We are not an Army. That’s a concept from the past, from before the emergence of the New Humans. We are a Force. A self-organizing collective with leadership resident in each, and every participant.

We are the New Human Force. By the time officialdom starts to speak about the Aliens in near-factual terms, we will already be engaging them in this Eternal Now.

By the time officialdom begins to move matter around (space ships & such) thinking it’s War, we will already be suffering casualties in this Eternal Now. That part is inevitable. It’s how we learn.

By the time officialdom realizes that some shit is going on in places and ways beyond its conception, we will already be pushing our dominance onto our partners in this First Contention, the Aliens. Nage cannot train without Uke.

Just as officialdom is scrambling to research the Ontology, this Eternal Now, and the event-stream, we will be settling terms with our new partners, the Aliens.

Come, join with us. It’s going to be a hellacious Contention.

We ARE the NEW HUMANS!

Together we are the Force that cannot be defeated.

Start YOUR training in this instance of this Eternal NOW.

Consume Neville Goddard videos as though all of human existence depended on YOUR mind and YOUR active, effective, imaginings!

It’s not a question of Mind over Matter as there is only Mind and it cares not for Matter. That’s residue.

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.
