BitGo is pleased to announce support for Flare (FLR) and Songbird (SGB)—two EVM-compatible networks, with Flare enabling secure, trust-minimized interoperability and data-rich applications, and Songbird serving as its live testing ground. With the addition of FLR, a top 100 asset by market capitalization, BitGo reinforces its position as the leading custodian offering the broadest support for top-tier digital assets.

Effective immediately, both FLR and SGB are available through BitGo’s qualified custody and self-custody hot & cold wallets, giving institutions flexible, secure options for asset management. Support for staking functionality will follow later this year.

Flare: The Blockchain for Data, Liquidity, & Intelligent Applications

Flare is purpose-built to enable decentralized systems to interact with real-world data securely and seamlessly. As the only EVM-compatible Layer 1 with enshrined data protocols, Flare supports powerful applications across DeFi, AI, identity, and institutional finance.

Flare’s core innovations include:

  • Flare Time Series Oracle: Delivers high-integrity, low-latency price data for stable DeFi operations.

  • Flare Data Connector: Enables trust-minimized access to external data and cross-chain events.

  • FAssets: Unlocks DeFi use cases for non-smart contract assets like BTC, XRP, and DOGE.

  • Verifiable Off-Chain Compute: Enables fast, auditable computation for advanced AI and finance applications; planned for a future release.

Songbird: The Canary Network for Innovation

Also available is Songbird, the canary network for Flare. Songbird operates as a live testing environment for new features before they are deployed to Flare mainnet. Like Flare, it’s EVM-compatible and supports the same protocols above, with its own utility token (SGB) used for governance and transaction fees. Songbird provides real economic incentives for testing, making it a critical proving ground for application developers and the broader Flare ecosystem.

With SGB available for both qualified custody and self-custody, institutions can experiment and engage with early-stage Flare features without compromising on security or compliance.

What’s Coming Next

BitGo’s roadmap for Flare support doesn’t stop here. In the months ahead, we will be rolling out:

  • Support for Flare’s token standard

  • Delegation support for Wrapped Flare (WFLR)

  • Support for Flare’s P-Chain

  • Native Staking support for FLR

As interest in decentralized AI, real-world data feeds, and multi-chain DeFi grows, BitGo remains committed to expanding access to high-potential networks like Flare and Songbird with institutional-grade infrastructure.

“Partnering with a well-established, U.S.-based qualified custodian like BitGo is a key milestone in Flare’s institutional journey,” said Hugo Philion, CEO and co-founder of Flare. “BitGo’s reputation, regulatory credentials, and support for segregated accounts make them an ideal partner as we prepare to launch products that require compliant custody solutions. We’re proud to work with BitGo to expand secure access to FLR and SGB for institutions worldwide.”
