Flare Network has introduced Luminite, a non-custodial, seedless wallet designed to make decentralized finance (DeFi) accessible to XRP (XRP) holders as part of a broader push to give smart contract functionality to assets that historically lacked it.
“By removing complex barriers of entry, we’re enabling anyone – from first-time users to seasoned crypto holders – to access the full power of the Flare ecosystem,” the team said in a prepared statement.
“This is about making DeFi approachable, not just for the crypto-native, but for the next wave of users discovering blockchain through real utility,” the statement added.
Built with Turnkey’s embedded infrastructure, Luminite skips seed phrases in favor of passkeys, biometrics, or email sign-ins.
Users can acquire FLR and XRP via integrated fiat on-ramps like Topper, then engage directly with DeFi protocols on Flare, including services like staking, swaps, minting synthetic FXRP, and bridging assets via Stargate.
For XRP holders, it means the token can now be wrapped into FXRP via Flare’s FAssets protocol and deployed across staking and liquidity products. This gives token holders a reason to remain within the Flare ecosystem instead of bridging elsewhere.
Whether this becomes sticky will depend on what comes next: sustained TVL growth, liquidity incentives, and whether developers start building tools that integrate XRP in ways that Ethereum and Solana users already expect.
