Monthly recap: May 2025

We said goodbye to May a few days ago so it’s time to turn our attention to the noteworthy moments that defined the past month here at Sceptre. May was a pretty busy month, with a much-awaited feature finally added to the Sceptre for Flare app, the kickstart of a contest and, of course, your usual double dose of The Flare Factor. Let's delve into the highlights of May.

Track your sFLR and rewards!

Introduced right at the end of May in the sRewards tab of our app, the new “Your sFLR” section delivers on two key community requests: easy tracking of sFLR across various Flare Network dApps and a clear overview of staking rewards earned on Sceptre.

While we're still refining a few details, you can already view your sFLR holdings across most protocols directly within the Sceptre app. Additionally, by using the dropdown menu to input your Sceptre staking start date, you can track the wFLR you’ve accumulated via rewards, FlareDrops, and buy-in fees. To give you a clear picture of your growth, the app will display the wFLR value of your sFLR on that initial date. We'll cover this exciting new feature soon on a blog post, but in the meantime, you can catch Lex's walkthrough on The Flare Factor:

The Exchange Rate is Right

Sceptre's turning 1 year old and we're celebrating with a community contest! Until the June 4th FlareDrop, Sceptre users can test their prediction skills to guess the next sFLR:FLR exchange rate for a chance to win 10,000 sFLR, plus prizes of 1,000 sFLR for 5 random participants! In order to participate, all you have to do is be staked on Sceptre, be a member of our community on Discord and enter your guess on the #the-exchange-rate-is-right channel. There’s still some time to participate, so hurry!

The Flare Factor of May 2025

For those who love a deep dive, May 2025 brought us a double dose of The Flare Factor! In our first episode, we were delighted to have Jake Hunsbusher from Kinetic back on the show to walk us through all the new features they've added since we last spoke. You can find it here.

Fittingly, given its focus on rewards, May's second Flare Factor episode featured Andrew Gelman of Goldsky, the subgraph experts behind much of the data in Sceptre's sRewards tab. Andrew shared insights into Goldsky's products, and Lex followed up with a demonstration of the recently enhanced sRewards tab. You can catch the full episode here.

Don’t miss our 1st Anniversary special!

And while we're on the subject of anniversaries and Flare Factors, be sure to tune in to our anniversary special tomorrow at 15:30 UTC on X! We're thrilled to be joined by guests from Flare, Cyclo, Kinetic, Hyperactive, and SparkDEX to celebrate Sceptre's fantastic first year and would love for you to be part of the celebrations!

Thank you for sticking with us and see you all next month!
