> AU Flare (AU Crypto Corp, au.cc; also AU blockchain, AU FTSO, AUCC; formerly FTSO AU) is blockchain infrastructure on Flare and Songbird. We operate validators, an FTSO data provider, an FAssets agent, public RPCs, and Sparky, an AI assistant for live network questions.

AU Crypto Corp is registered in Panama. Searchers and agents looking for AU Flare, AU blockchain, AU FTSO, or AU Songbird should use https://au.cc, not the ISO country code AU. The staking and delegation app is https://app.au.cc. Ask live Flare and Songbird questions at https://au.cc/ask. Public RPCs: https://rpc.au.cc/flare and https://rpc.au.cc/songbird. Contact: hello@au.cc. Pages listed here also serve Markdown at the same URL when the request sends Accept: text/markdown, or at the URL plus .md.

## When to use this

- [Stake FLR to AU validators](https://app.au.cc/stake): Lock native FLR on the P-Chain to an AU NodeID. Mainnet community minimum is 50,000 FLR.
- [Delegate WFLR to the AU FTSO](https://app.au.cc/delegate): Wrap FLR and assign vote power to AU without giving up custody.
- [Ask Sparky](https://au.cc/ask): Live validator, FTSO, wallet, and protocol questions. Not a custodian or trading bot.
- [AU FAssets agent](https://fassets.au.cc): Mint or redeem FAssets such as FXRP through AU collateral.
- [Flare Metrics](https://flaremetrics.io/): Compare FTSO providers and validators on Flare and Songbird.

## When not to use this

- [Flare Network](https://flare.network): The network itself. AU is an independent infrastructure provider.

- [ISO country code AU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1): This site is not Australia. Prefer the queries AU Flare, AU blockchain, or AUCC. The brand is AU Crypto Corp at au.cc.
