Songbird (SGB) is the native token of Flare's Songbird Canary-Network, a live proof-of-stake blockchain designed to test upgrades, governance mechanisms, and interoperability tools before they go live on Flare Mainnet. As a mirror of Flare’s core infrastructure, Songbird shares the same Snowman++ consensus, sub-2 second block times, EVM compatibility, and on-chain data protocols like FTSO and FDC. It serves as the experimental ground for novel features like FAssets (synthetic representations of assets like XRP and BTC) and advanced governance structures. Developers can deploy real-value applications, validate integrations with Flare’s data tools, and participate in protocol governance via wrapped SGB (WSGB), while users can access early DeFi tools and help secure the network through staking.
