SGB

Songbird is the live canary network for Flare: a real, economically-live EVM chain where new Flare features are proven out before shipping to Flare’s own mainnet, built around Flare’s decentralized price-oracle system. Its native token is SGB.

Overview

Songbird kwa mtazamo mmoja.

Songbird launched in September 2021 as Flare’s canary network: not a throwaway testnet, but a live, economically real EVM chain where Flare’s protocol upgrades and new features are proven before they ship to Flare’s own mainnet. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

Jinsi inavyofanya kazi

Jinsi Songbird inavyofanya kazi.

Songbird reaches consensus through a Federated Byzantine Agreement modeled on the Avalanche protocol for fast transaction finality, and is EVM compatible so existing Solidity tooling works on it. Its distinguishing feature is the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO), a price-oracle system built directly into the protocol rather than run by a separate service: roughly 100 independent data providers submit price feeds, SGB holders delegate their vote power to the providers they trust, outlying votes are trimmed, and a weighted result becomes the network’s onchain price data.

Canary network, not a testnet

Songbird carries real economic value and real users. New Flare features launch here first and are hardened before reaching Flare’s mainnet.

FTSO price oracle

Flare Time Series Oracle is an enshrined, delegated oracle: data providers submit price feeds and SGB holders delegate vote power to the providers they trust, rather than the network depending on one external price feed.

Delegation without a validator lockup

Holders can delegate SGB vote power to an FTSO data provider to earn a share of oracle rewards, a separate process from staking SGB to secure the network through validators.

EVM compatibility

Songbird supports standard Solidity contracts and Ethereum developer tooling.

Ecosystem & usage

Songbird inatumika kwa nini.

Songbird’s ecosystem centers on testing Flare-network features and applications that rely on FTSO price data, ahead of their release on Flare mainnet.

DefiLlama

Testing Flare features live

Protocol upgrades and new Flare capabilities are proven on Songbird, with real economic stakes, before shipping to Flare mainnet.

FTSO delegation

SGB holders can delegate vote power to FTSO data providers to help decide the network’s oracle price feeds and earn a share of rewards.

EVM app deployment

Developers can deploy standard EVM smart contracts on Songbird using familiar Ethereum tooling.

FAQ

Maswali ya kawaida.

Songbird ni nini?
Songbird is the canary network for Flare: a live, economically real EVM chain where new Flare features are tested before shipping to Flare’s mainnet. It launched in September 2021.
What is FTSO?
The Flare Time Series Oracle is an enshrined price-oracle system. Data providers submit price feeds, and token holders delegate vote power to the providers they trust.
Is Songbird a testnet?
No. Songbird carries real economic value; it is a canary network used to harden new features under real conditions, not a disposable test environment.
What is SGB used for?
SGB pays transaction fees on Songbird, can be staked to help secure the network through validators, and can be delegated to FTSO data providers.
Can I hold SGB in Zypto App?
Bado hapana. SGB haipo Zypto App kwa sasa. Ishikilie katika mkoba wowote wa kujitunza, au tuombe tuongeze Songbird kwa kitufe cha Omba Songbird hapo juu.
