a) The promise: Flare Network has a simple vision; bring smart contracts (SCs) to chains without Turing Completeness e.g. XRP, LTC, DOGE and more.
SCs are required for dApps which is why Flare presents a massive unlock allowing communities to build use cases for their tokens
b) The reality: The team launched their canary/test network "Songbird" in September. It has shown some traction with some great projects already building on it and engagement from their loyal community.
