Key Facts
- Flare and D'CENT Wallet announced on 19 May 2026 an integration that lets XRP holders deposit directly into Monarq's MXRPY yield vault from D'CENT's hardware wallet via Flare Smart Accounts (FSA).
- D'CENT reports 330,000+ hardware users and 720,000+ app users across the US, Korea, UK, Canada and Japan, with billions of XRP held across its user base.
- The deposit-to-vault flow requires only two XRPL signatures, with no new wallet, no new chain and no FLR gas token to manage; FSA handles the EVM-side execution.
- MXRPY is a multi-strategy XRP yield vault built by Monarq Asset Management — majority-owned by FalconX — on Upshift's institutional vault infrastructure, targeting 3–4% APY across options, basis arbitrage and on-chain XRPFi strategies.
- A $55,000 reward campaign runs from 19 May to 8 June 2026 across three quests covering hardware wallet purchase, XRP holding and vault deposit.
Flare and D'CENT Wallet have integrated Flare Smart Accounts into D'CENT's hardware wallet, letting XRP holders deposit directly into Monarq's MXRPY yield vault in a single flow without leaving their hardware-secured device. Announced on 19 May 2026, the integration adds a major distribution channel to Flare's XRPFi stack — one that runs across D'CENT's 330,000+ hardware users and 720,000+ app users in the US, Korea, UK, Canada and Japan, with billions of XRP held across the base.
How the two-signature flow works
Flare Smart Accounts (FSA) is the architectural piece that makes the integration possible. It lets an XRPL-native user reach EVM-based DeFi without ever directly touching Flare, by treating XRPL as the control layer for actions executed on Flare. The deposit-to-vault flow has four steps but requires only two signatures, both on XRPL from the D'CENT device. The first signature reserves collateral on Flare, identifies the vault, and pays the collateral reservation and operator fees. The second sends XRP to the Core Vault on XRPL and pays the minting fee. From there, FXRP — Flare's trust-minimised representation of XRP — mints on Flare backed by the XRP from step two, and is automatically deposited into the user's chosen vault. The wallet shows progress at each stage, but no further signing is required. Withdrawals work the same way. Three properties matter for the user. There is no new wallet, new keys, or new chain to manage — funds stay under XRPL signature control. There is no requirement to hold FLR for gas; Flare gas is handled inside the flow. And the entire process is fully non-custodial, with every authorisation anchored to an XRPL signature from the D'CENT device. The Flare Data Connector relays a proof of each XRPL transaction to Flare, where a smart contract proxy assigned to that XRPL address executes the encoded instruction.
What MXRPY is and who built it
The vault on the receiving end of the integration is MXRPY, launched on 15 May 2026 by Monarq Asset Management, Flare and Upshift. MXRPY is a managed, multi-strategy XRP yield vault built on Upshift's institutional vault infrastructure, with Monarq — a digital asset manager majority-owned by FalconX — running the strategy. It is the first XRP-denominated vault on Flare to combine on-chain DeFi with off-chain execution under a single managed product. Capital is deployed across three return engines: options trading, basis and funding rate arbitrage, and on-chain XRPFi positioning. The target annual yield is approximately 3% to 4% APY, with actual returns distributed over time based on strategy performance and market conditions. Users deposit FXRP and receive MXRPY receipt tokens representing their principal and accrued yield. Withdrawals settle on a weekly cycle every Friday, with an option to pay a small fee for instant redemption. The initial deposit cap was set at 500,000 FXRP. "The Clearstar EarnXRP vault showed that there is real demand for XRP-denominated vaults on Flare," said Ethan Luc, head of growth at
Upshift, at the MXRPY launch. "Upshift provided the infrastructure behind that launch, and we're now expanding the model with Monarq, a second XRP vault with a different strategy profile and a broader set of yield sources."
The XRP Alliance and distribution layer
The D'CENT integration ships alongside the XRP Alliance — a distribution group convened by D'CENT with Flare, Doppler, Banxa and Squid joining at launch. Flare's stated role in the Alliance is the programmable layer for XRP: FAssets gives XRP a trust-minimised on-chain representation as FXRP, and Flare Smart Accounts turn XRPL signatures into FXRP minting and vault deposits on Flare in one flow. For D'CENT users, the integration appears inside the wallet as a featured application labelled "Idle XRP; Meet Institutional Yield," with a direct link to the Monarq vault. For Flare, it closes the gap between holding XRP on XRPL and earning yield on Flare without users having to manage multiple wallets, chains or steps. As one of the hardware wallets most trusted by Korean XRP holders specifically — with reach extending into the US, UK, Canada and Japan — D'CENT represents an unusually direct route to the holders Flare is most interested in activating.
$55,000 reward campaign
Flare and D'CENT are running a joint promotional campaign from 19 May to 8 June 2026 with a $55,000 reward pool across three independent quests. Quest 1 rewards purchase of a D'CENT biometric hardware wallet via the campaign landing page with $50 in XRP (pool cap $10,000). Quest 2 rewards holding or swapping a minimum of 250 XRP in a D'CENT wallet with $25 in FLR (pool cap $5,000). Quest 3 covers the vault deposit and is the largest of the three. Users who mint FXRP via Flare Smart Accounts, deposit at least $1,000 USD in XRP value into the Monarq vault, and maintain the position for 30 days earn $10 in XRP and $10 in FLR per $1,000 USD deposited, with per-user caps of $50 in XRP and $100 in FLR. The Quest 3 pool is capped at $10,000 in XRP plus $30,000 in FLR.
The bigger XRPFi picture
The integration sits inside Flare's broader push to position itself as the default programmable yield layer for XRPFi. FAssets handle trust-minimised asset representation, Flare Smart Accounts handle chain-abstracted execution, and wallet partners like D'CENT and Xaman handle wallet-native distribution. Together they form an end-to-end stack supporting both retail participation and institutional strategy deployment — and they activate the very large amount of dormant XRP currently sitting across exchanges and wallets globally. The launch of MXRPY also adds weight to Flare's institutional thesis. Monarq — a FalconX-majority-owned digital asset manager — chose Flare as the venue for its first publicly distributed multi-strategy XRP vault. That choice, paired with D'CENT going live as a wallet-native distribution channel, signals that XRPFi on Flare is moving from experimental on-chain strategies toward production-grade capital rails for both retail and institutional flows.
FAQ
What does the Flare and D'CENT integration enable? The integration lets D'CENT hardware wallet users deposit XRP directly into curated yield vaults on Flare — starting with Monarq's MXRPY vault — using two XRPL signatures from their device. Flare Smart Accounts handles the EVM-side execution, including FXRP minting and vault deposit, with no new wallet, no new chain, and no FLR gas token required.
What is the MXRPY vault and what yield does it target? MXRPY is a managed multi-strategy XRP yield vault launched on Flare on 15 May 2026 by Monarq Asset Management, Flare and Upshift. It deploys FXRP across options trading, basis and funding rate arbitrage, and on-chain XRPFi strategies, targeting approximately 3% to 4% APY. Initial deposit cap was set at 500,000 FXRP, with weekly Friday withdrawals and an option for fee-based instant redemption.
How does the reward campaign work? Flare and D'CENT are running a $55,000 reward campaign from 19 May to 8 June 2026 across three independent quests: $50 in XRP for purchasing a D'CENT biometric hardware wallet, $25 in FLR for holding 250+ XRP in a D'CENT wallet, and up to $50 in XRP plus $100 in FLR per user for depositing into the Monarq vault and holding for 30 days. The Flare–D'CENT integration is a clear signal that
XRPFi is leaving its experimental phase. By collapsing a previously multi-step, multi-chain user journey into two signatures from a familiar hardware wallet, Flare and D'CENT have removed the most cited reason XRP holders give for leaving their tokens idle. Whether that converts the substantial dormant XRP balance held by D'CENT's user base into actual vault deposits will be the practical test through the rest of 2026.
