Songbird is an open-source blockchain that is based on the Flare protocol. It uses a layer one consensus algorithm to ensure that transactions are verified and added to the blockchain quickly and efficiently. This makes it a reliable and secure currency for use in online transactions. Songbird uses a consensus protocol that does not depend upon mining or staking.
The Songbird network’s native token is the SGB or Songbird tokens. SGB tokens have the same distribution ratio as the Flare (FLR) token. Beyond being a traditional token, SGB can also be used by Songbirds to take part in the governance of the Flare Network and vote on critical decisions.
