FAssets bridge
Overview
FAssets are a decentralized bridge mechanism on the Flare Network that enable the representation of assets from other blockchains (e.g., Bitcoin, XRP) as native tokens on Flare. They are used to integrate these external assets into Flare's smart contract ecosystem for DeFi applications without relying on a traditional trusted custodian. The system relies on over-collateralization by agents who mint F-Assets against locked collateral on Flare.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, FAssets connects to 4 tracked entities, most strongly to Ripple, Flare, Ripple.
