What is the most important aspect of any Blockchain project?
The way it reaches consensus.
The way transactions are verified.
Solving the double spend problem can be done in many different ways, some better than others...

Proof-of-Work (PoW)
PoW is a decentralized consensus mechanism that requires members of a network to expend effort solving an arbitrary mathematical puzzle - AKA mining.
Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
The PoS concept states that a person can mine or validate block transactions according to how many coins they hold. This means that the more coins owned by a miner, the more mining power they have.
Flare is governed entirely by Spark token holders through voting.
Some decisions can be implemented on-chain such as:
changing the transaction cost or changing the collateral ratio and creation fee of a F-Asset.

Other decisions such as changing network consensus parameters or more complex long-term updates require a code change.
The Flare white paper sets out a proposal, development and testing regime for manual changes which can be initiated and voted on by Spark token holders

To help implement that process & execute the agreed changes there will be a Flare Foundation. The foundation will be a non-profit.
It will be responsible for 5 key areas:
• Grants
• Investments
• Research & Development
• Education
• Publicity & Partnerships

If you was storing your #XRP on an exchange at the time, then fear not. You may still be eligible for the airdrop as exchanges may have claimed Spark on your behalf.
#Flare is the world’s first Turing complete Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) network.
It's going to change game!
But I would like to bring your attention to the @FlrFinance ecosystem which will be built upon the Flare Network.
