- Flare and D’CENT Wallet are giving XRP holders a direct hardware-wallet route into FXRP yield vaults on Flare.
- The integration uses Flare Smart Accounts, allowing users to sign on XRPL without managing a new wallet, chain or FLR gas.
Flare and D’CENT Wallet are rolling out a new access point for XRP holders who want to earn yield without leaving the wallet environment they already trust. The integration lets D’CENT users deposit XRP into curated vaults on Flare directly from their hardware-secured device.
The feature is built around Flare Smart Accounts, or FSA. In practical terms, it allows an XRPL-native user to reach EVM-based DeFi without creating a new wallet, handling a new seed phrase or managing FLR as a gas token. The user signs two transactions on XRPL, and the rest of the process is handled through Flare’s infrastructure.
Two XRPL signatures, then FXRP moves into a vault
The deposit flow is designed to hide much of the chain complexity from the user. First, the D’CENT device signs an XRPL transaction that reserves collateral on Flare, identifies the selected vault and pays the required reservation and operator fees. The second signature sends XRP to the Core Vault on XRPL and pays the minting fee.
After that, FXRP is minted on Flare, backed by the XRP sent in the second step. The FXRP is then deposited into the chosen vault automatically. The wallet shows the stages, including collateral reservation, mint confirmation and deposit completion, but the user does not need to sign further transactions after the second XRPL approval.
This is the core point of the launch. XRP holders often face friction when trying to use DeFi outside the XRP Ledger: new chains, wrapped assets, unfamiliar gas tokens and extra operational risk. FSA uses XRPL as the control layer. Instructions are encoded in the memo field of XRPL transactions, while Flare Data Connector relays proof of those transactions to the Flare Smart Account system.
Under the hood, each XRPL address gets a corresponding smart contract proxy on Flare. That proxy can execute the instructions encoded in the XRPL transaction, but control remains anchored to the signature from the user’s D’CENT device. So the user is not really “moving into” a new wallet experience in the usual sense. They are using their existing XRPL key to direct activity on Flare.
That design also explains why no separate FLR gas balance is required. Gas handling is embedded in the flow, removing one of the most common drop-off points for users who are not already active in EVM-based DeFi. It sounds small, but in practice gas management is one of the reasons many holders never move beyond simple custody.
D’CENT becomes a distribution layer for XRPFi
The integration launches alongside the XRP Alliance, convened by D’CENT with Flare, Doppler, Banxa and Squid joining at launch. Flare’s role is to provide the programmable layer for XRP. FAssets create a trust-minimized on-chain representation of XRP, while FSA turns XRPL signatures from wallets such as D’CENT into execution on Flare.
D’CENT is a meaningful partner here. The wallet is used by more than 330,000 hardware users and 720,000 app users across markets including the US, Korea, the UK, Canada and Japan. According to the announcement, billions of XRP are held across its user base.
That distribution matters because XRPFi has always faced a slightly different challenge from Ethereum DeFi. XRP has a large and committed holder base, but much of that capital sits idle in wallets or exchanges. It is not naturally deployed into on-chain strategies at the same rate as assets that grew up inside smart contract ecosystems.
If Flare can make XRP usable in programmable vaults without forcing users into a completely new environment, the addressable base becomes much larger.
The Monarq vault, operated by a FalconX-majority-owned asset manager, is now accessible directly through D’CENT via Flare Smart Accounts. Inside the wallet, the feature appears as a highlighted application labeled “Idle XRP; Meet Institutional Yield,” with a direct route to the Monarq XRP Yield Vault frontend.
The institutional angle is also worth noting. A vault structure run by an asset manager linked to FalconX is different from a simple incentive farm. It points to a market where XRP-based liquidity is being packaged into strategies that look more familiar to professional capital allocators.
That does not remove risk, and users still need to understand vault terms, liquidity conditions and counterparty exposure. But it does show how XRP is being pulled into a broader yield and execution stack.
Flare and D’CENT are also running a promotional campaign from May 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM UTC through June 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM UTC. The campaign includes a $55,000 reward pool across three separate quests covering D’CENT wallet purchases, XRP holding or swapping, and deposits into the Monarq XRP Yield Vault. Rewards are subject to caps, verification and, for vault deposits, a minimum 30-day holding period.
