FIP.16 Hard Fork

Medium5.5

Description

Flare's FIP.16 hard fork goes live, raising the base gas fee to 500 gwei (from 25) and increasing validator capacity to 300M FLR.

Why it matters

The hard fork raises FLR's base gas fee to 500 gwei and lifts validator capacity to 300M FLR, directly adjusting network economics on a firm commit date. It changes throughput and validator economics rather than the asset's valuation thesis, so the re-rate is real but contained to active participants tracking Flare's operating parameters.
