Firelight protects what's underneath.

Builders use DeFi infrastructure to deliver onchain yield to their users. Firelight adds a protection layer to that infrastructure, with transparent, verifiable terms designed to cover defined protocol failures.

Capital providers back the protection and earn yield in return.

Protection for Onchain Products

Firelight delivers automated, on-chain protection for digital asset products and sustainable, yield-based returns for the capital behind it. 

Comprehensive Risk Mitigation

Protect on-chain earn programs with institutional-grade cover built on transparent terms, independent claims review, and programmatic payouts.

Institutional Readiness

Built with the resilience, controls, and scale required by institutional liquidity providers and vault operators.

Programmatic Yield

Earn via fees paid by leading digital asset platforms that enable Firelight coverage.

How Firelight Enables a DeFi Cover Marketplace

1

Deploy Capital

Stakers allocate assets to non-custodial vaults, backing a diversified portfolio of cover markets.

2

Set Coverage Terms

Firelight registers each market’s coverage terms—scope, price, capacity—onchain, while vault operators enable coverage.

3

Earn Rewards

Stakers receive their proportional share of the coverage fees paid by program operators, distributed each period.

4

Resolve Incidents

When an incident occurs, the independent Risk Consortium validates it against published coverage criteria.

The Strategic Advantage of Integrating Firelight

Give your platform a new layer of value: stronger user trust, better capital retention, and a safer experience, without changing how you operate.

The Status Quo

On-chain products stall because users can't quantify the risk.
Vague, unverifiable protection promises erode credibility.
Strong architecture, but perceived risk still drives users away.
Verifiable protection unlocks deposits from risk-conscious users.
Transform complex on-chain risk into clear and transparent coverage terms.
Visible protection turns safety into a selling point.

Independent Oversight for Every Cover Event

The Firelight Risk Consortium is an independent panel of leading security and risk firms that reviews cover events, so payouts are assessed with expert rigor rather than adjudicated in-house.

Coverage Eligibility

Firelight enables coverage for the major technical and economic failure modes of on-chain protocols:

Smart Contract Exploits

Bugs or vulnerabilities in a covered protocol's code, such as logic errors, reentrancy, access control failures, upgrade flaws.

Oracle Failures

Incorrect price data related to misconfigured or stale feeds, compromised sources, or price manipulation.

Governance Exploits

Hijacked governance such as flash-loan voting attacks, malicious upgrades, exploited governance contracts.

Bad Debt from Mechanism Failure

Liquidation or collateral mechanisms malfunction, socializing unrecoverable bad debt to depositors.

Depegs from Mechanism Failure

A pegged asset breaks from its reference value because its stabilization mechanism fails.

Redemption Failures

A protocol defect blocks withdrawals or returns materially less than fair value.

Security and Audits

Firelight's contracts are audited by OpenZeppelin, Coinspect, and 0xMacro, and a public bug bounty with Immunefi.

Firelight uses Flare's FAssets to bridge XRP into the ecosystem as FXRP. The FAssets infrastructure is overcollateralized, decentralized, and extensively audited.

Incubated by Sentora

Everything Stakers Need to Know About Phase 2

Firelight Protocol Phase 2 moves the protocol from liquidity bootstrapping into the full live protocol. Phase 1 built the base of staked capital. Phase 2 activates three changes at once: capital migrates automatically into active positions, streamed emissions and slashing exposure go live, and the unstaking window extends to align with cover periods. Together, these changes turn staked FXRP into the backing capital for the cover DeFi vaults, with the first launch partners to be announced soon.

How Native Strengthens Firelight's Risk Consortium

The Firelight Risk Consortium brings an entirely new approach to how DeFi addresses risk events and claim validation. Its success depends on bringing together strong expertise across risk management areas. While threat detection platforms identify incidents and exploits, insurance underwriters and brokers understand how these exploits translate into coverage and whether a loss qualifies under those terms. That's where Native's participation is essential.
