Flare has introduced Smart Accounts version 1.3 to simplify how XRP holders access decentralized finance (DeFi) without changing their existing wallet. The update also removes the need to create separate wallets, manually bridge assets, or manage gas tokens before using DeFi services.

According to a press release sent to CryptoPotato, users now need only a single wallet signature to access DeFi. Previously, the process required two separate approvals.

How Smart Accounts Version 1.3 Works

Under the new version, users approve a single transaction from their XRP Ledger wallet. The system then converts their XRP into FXRP and automatically deposits it into a selected yield vault.

The Flare Data Connector verifies the XRP Ledger transaction before a smart contract completes the remaining steps. Flare said the original XRP remains locked on the XRP Ledger at a one-to-one ratio throughout the process.

This setup allows users to retain control of their assets while removing the need for manual bridging or obtaining gas tokens on another blockchain. The simplified process comes as FXRP activity across decentralized finance platforms continues to expand.

Since February, the amount of FXRP deployed across DeFi applications has grown by nearly 75%, rising from 82 million to 144 million. Flare also reported that more than 40 million XRP is currently earning through Smart Accounts across nearly 24,000 accounts.

New Vaults and Broader Wallet Integration

Commenting on the update, Chief Product Officer Filip Koprivec said millions of XRP holders had wanted access to DeFi, but the experience had been too complex. He said version 1.3 lets users move from XRP to yield with a single wallet signature while remaining fully non-custodial.

The version also expands the available yield options with two vaults offering different approaches. Users can continue using the Monarq vault or choose the new Clearstar Flare XRP Yield Vault, which uses on-chain lending and liquidity strategies.

According to the company, the Clearstar vault distributes FXRP across protocols including Avant and Euler while keeping all positions publicly visible. Flare added that Clearstar has previously managed more than 33 million FXRP through earlier deployments.

The update also expands wallet support to Ledger, Xaman, Joey Wallet, WalletConnect, including Bifrost, and D’CENT. Joey Wallet has integrated the Smart Accounts interface directly into its application, allowing users to complete the process without leaving the wallet.
