This shall be done by integrating the Ethereum Virtual Machine to the XRP ledger to introduce smart contracts on the XRP network.<\/p>\n<p>The Spark Token (FLR) will be the native token of the Flare network. Its main function will be deterring spam transactions. Spark will also be used as collateral within applications. The token will also be the sole contributor to an oracle providing on-chain time series data estimates.
