Sentora Taps Firelight for Built-In, Capital-Backed Cover on Institutional DeFi Vaults

The move seeks to make DeFi safer for large allocators by converting wrapped XRP on Flare into pooled cover.

Overview

  • Sentora named Firelight as the native cover layer across its public and private vaults, embedding protection against smart contract exploits, oracle errors, and bad debt.
  • Firelight runs on the Flare network and uses FXRP, a wrapped version of XRP, so stakers lock FXRP to fund an insurance pool that can pay claims on covered vault failures.
  • Following a recent cap increase, Firelight reports roughly 65 million FXRP staked with about 155 million FXRP circulating across Flare’s DeFi protocols.
  • Sentora brings vault distribution and risk modeling to the tie-up, citing more than $3 billion in cumulative deployed capital and integrations with Kraken and Fireblocks.
  • The combined stack adds programmatic underwriting and automated claims, a design meant to lower hurdles for institutions that have avoided DeFi over unresolved technical risk.
