Hugo Philion, CEO and co-founder of the Flare Networks team behind the much-anticipated smart contracts platform Flare (FLR), clarifies the role of Ripple, Inc. in the progress of his product.

Partner, supporter, minority investor

In his latest tweet, Mr. Philion shared the link to semi-ironic community-driven resource "Wen Flare." It describes the "most accurate" timeline for Flare's mainnet release in one word: "soon."

At the same time, a poisoned anonymous soldier in the "XRP Army" tweeted that the recent delay of Flare (FLR) mainnet release was controlled by payment decacorn Ripple.

As a result, it is solely Ripple that is in charge of the inception of Flare's mainnet operations:

It happens when Ripple says it happens.

Mr. Philion dismissed this statement and emphasized that while Ripple is a partner of Flare Networks, the digital payments giant can in no way can affect Flare's critical milestones:

I can't emphasise this strongly enough, whilst Ripple is a valued partner and supporter they are a minority investor in Flare and do not dictate anything at Flare whatsoever.

When mainnet?

As covered by U.Today previously, Flare's (FLR) representatives reiterated that the SEC/Ripple legal battle over allegedly illegal XRP selling to U.S. citizens will not affect the progress of Flare.
