## Page Purpose Details

### FTSO
The FTSO page helps users compare Flare and Songbird data providers using performance, reward, and reliability metrics relevant to delegation decisions.

### Validators
The Validators page helps users compare validator operators using stake, delegation, fee, uptime, and capacity metrics.

### Entity profiles
Entity profile pages combine FTSO provider and validator metrics for a single operator on Flare, including vote power, reward rates, stake schedule (delegated stake, remaining capacity, and upcoming unlocks), per-node staking data, and minimum conditions history by epoch. URLs follow /entity/ plus the entity address.

### Rewards
The Rewards page helps users estimate and compare potential returns from FTSO delegation and validator staking based on user-entered FLR amounts.

### Rich List
The Rich List page helps users explore FLR and SGB holder distribution, concentration, rank lookup, and wallet band analytics.

### FlareDrops
The FlareDrops page tracks historical and current token distribution analytics, including claim activity and distribution trends.

### TVL
The TVL page shows DeFi total value locked on Flare, stablecoin market cap, and FAssets TVL broken down by chain. Data is sourced from DefiLlama.

### FIRE
The FIRE page tracks protocol fee accrual for the Flare Income Reinvestment Entity (FIP.16). Four fee streams accrue in native tokens only: FDC attestation fees (FLR, settled via per-epoch on-chain claims), FAsset minting-tag fees (FLR, held), FXRP core-vault mint fees (FXRP, held), and FXRP redemption fees (FXRP, held). FLR and FXRP are never summed as tokens; USD values are spot conversions only. The page shows total USD with separate FLR and FXRP balances, live reward-epoch accrual with FDC estimate and countdown, FLR and FXRP ledgers, pace stats, daily inflow charts with cumulative totals, per-epoch settlement (estimated vs claimed), and recipient wallet links on Flare Explorer. Data is aggregated from Flare Metrics.
