According to the Flare Improvement Proposal 01 (FIP.01), 85% of the Flaredrop distribution will be shared by all holders of wrapped FLR. CoolWallet will soon support the wrapped FLR (WFLR) token and Dapp connection via WalletConnect, allowing you to wrap your FLR directly using CoolWallet. Before the new feature is released, here is a step-by-step guide showing you how you can wrap your FLR using MetaMask.

Step 1. Make sure you have a MetaMask account. You can Install MetaMask on your browser.

Step 2. Go to ChainList.org and search for Flare network. Click on “Connect Wallet”.

Step 3. Select the wallet you want to connect to the ChainList and click on “Connect”.

Step 4. Please approve the request after checking the information. Then please switch to the Flare mainnet.

Step 5. Send the FLR you want to wrap from your CoolWallet to the Flare address on your MetaMask account.

Step 6. Go to the official Flare Network Portal (https://portal.flare.network/) and connect to the wallet using MetaMask. Normally a connection request will automatically show up. If not, you can click on the “Connect to Wallet” button on the top-right corner.

Step 7. You can check your FLR balance after the wallet is connected. Click “Wrap” for the next step.

Step 8. Type in the amount of FLR you want to wrap. It is recommended to leave some unwrapped FLR tokens to pay for transaction fees according to the official guide from the Flare Network.

Step 9. Please check the transaction details carefully and then click on “Confirm”.

Step 10. After you successfully wrap FLR, you can see your new WFLR balance on the official Flare Network Portal. You can also unwrap your FLR by clicking on “Unwrap” and approving the transaction.

Recent reports of stolen crypto assets involving some Ledger users have raised concerns about hardware wallet supply chain security.

According to public reports, Ledger is investigating losses reported by users who purchased devices through CryptoBilis, a reseller in Southeast Asia. Ledger has also requested that the reseller temporarily suspend sales and shipments while the investigation continues.

The full attack method, scope of impact, and responsibility have yet to be conclusively established.

The incident highlights an important security consideration: Protecting private keys inside a secure chip is essential, but hardware wallet security must also account for the possibility of physical tampering before a device reaches its owner.
