The Flare Data Connector (FDC) is gaining two new attestation types, in preparation for the upcoming FAssets v1.3 release.
These new types are XRPL-native replacements for the older generic Payment and ReferencedPaymentNonexistence attestations, which relied on a standard payment-reference abstraction. Going XRPL-native means XRPL-specific fields are exposed directly — and that unlocks a few clear user-facing improvements coming with FAssets v1.3:
- Mint FXRP directly via the Core Vault.
- Reduced minting processing times.
- A single transaction is enough to mint, instead of two.
- Higher bridging capacity.
These FDC changes are part of the broader FAssets system upgrade described in FIP.16, section 4.2.
For the technical specification of the two new attestation types, see the community forum thread.
We've already implemented support for both types on our FDC infrastructure, ready for the v1.3 rollout.
