 <p class="paragraph">On 28 November 2023, blockchain research and development company Flare Labs launched a test <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="version" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/version.html">version</a> of the FAssets system on Flare’s Coston testnet.&nbsp;</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">The FAssets system enables non-smart contract tokens such as Bitcoin (BTC), (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE) and others to be used trustlessly with smart contracts on Flare, as per the latest information shared with Finbold.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">By minting these tokens into FAssets, it will be possible to stake them in exchange for yield or rewards in decentralized applications on the Flare <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="network" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/network.html">network</a>, and once the FAssets are on Flare, tokens can also be bridged to other <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="network" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/network.html">network</a>s.</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“More than 70% of the total value of all blockchain assets do not have smart contracts and therefore can’t be efficiently deployed in DeFi. FAssets enable these legacy assets to be represented on a smart contract chain without requiring a centralized third party,” said Hugo Philion, CEO of Flare Labs.&nbsp;</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Flare Labs and initial partners are adopting all required roles within the current system, providing the necessary infrastructure during the Beta.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, the test assets employed during the test period will allow the simulation of market volatility to evaluate the system’s robustness under stress.</p>
