14/ By using Flare’s data protocols, developers can build applications that securely access more data than ever before, or build with Flare across multiple ecosystems. @FlareNetworks is the blockchain for decentralized data.

13/ 7️⃣ Cooperative: Providing data tools that enable new types of dapp to be built, supporting the growth of the blockchain industry in general - helping connect everything.

12/ 6️⃣ Tools not empires: Flare is focused on enabling chain agnostic utility, making data available for minimal cost natively on Flare and also easily relayed to other networks.

11/ 5️⃣ Neutrality: All infrastructure providers derive their power within the network from stake and delegation and earn directly from the protocol based on their performance.

10/ 4️⃣ Auditability: All of Flare’s protocols are open source and the code in operation is reviewable by any party.

8/ 2️⃣ Decentralization: No single or small collection of entities controls Flare/ Flare's data protocols. Data acquisition protocols are enshrined in Flare, leveraging validators and consensus to provide price & time series data, blockchain event & state data, and web2 API data.

9/ 3️⃣ Censorship resistance: Currently the top 100 independent infrastructure providers contribute to all data protocols. No trusted or centralized party is able to obstruct the process.

7/ 1️⃣ Openness: Anyone can be a Flare infrastructure provider (validator + data contributor), with the top 100 contributing to Flare’s data protocols. Why: If the data provision system isn’t open, then only a few entities can participate, gaining an advantage over users.

6/ As the Blockchain for Data, Flare is the only smart contract platform optimized for decentralized data acquisition at scale - a system designed to give devs access to the broadest range of data, provided openly, in a decentralized manner, and with near zero risk of censorship:
