Exchange Guides

This section contains information and bits of advice for Exchanges willing to support the Flare blockchain.

The first thing you should know is that:

Flare is used just like Ethereum!

Even though the node code is different, Flare offers the same API as Ethereum so you can integrate with it in the same way.

• Deploy a Flare Observer node to access the network.
• Use the appropriate Chain ID.
• Use standard Ethereum libraries like web3.js if you want.
