In December 2020, a snapshot captured XRP holdings, with users receiving 0.1511 SGB for every 1 [XRP](https://iq.wiki/wiki/xrp) token and a corresponding amount of [FLR tokens](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare-flr-token). In September 2021, the entire SGB supply was airdropped to eligible users. SGB's value is expected to gradually decouple from [FLR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare-flr-token) and [XRP](https://iq.wiki/wiki/xrp) within the Songbird network.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-laru47k749)  \n  \n# Utility  \n  \nDistributed to all [FLR](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare-flr-token) recipients, this token assumes a crucial position in governing matters, particularly with regard to the integration of additional chains, pricing mechanisms, and FAssets within the FTSO and FAsset protocols.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-laru47k749)[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-cntlf40o7yr)  \n  \n## Governance  \n  \nSongbird serves as the lower chamber in [Flare](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare)'s bicameral governance system, allowing community proposals and voting. Approved Songbird proposals can be considered for implementation on the [Flare](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare) network by the [Flare](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare) Foundation. To streamline decision-making and prevent overwhelming the [Flare](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare) community, Songbird acts as a filter for governance proposals. There are four governance proposal periods annually on Songbird, where candidates can be submitted. Users stake SGB on these candidates, and the proposal with the most stake becomes an FIP if valid, subject to [Flare Token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare-flr-token) holder voting.  \nSongbird Test Proposals (STPs) are automatically approved unless specific conditions are met. Initially, the [Flare](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flare) Foundation proposes STPs, with future provisions for community participation. Proposals undergo a notice period, followed by a voting period. After voting, results can be automatically implemented. Different proposal types with unique acceptance criteria are supported by the portal, intended for future use.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-plxig1tr3e)[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-x1ezk1amto)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-nz7s2icp3bn)","summary":"The Songbird (SGB) token is the native cryptocurrency of the Songbird network, utilized for transaction fees, network governance and interactions with applicati...","categories":[{"id":"cryptocurrencies","title":"Cryptocurrencies"}],"promoted":0,"tags":[{"id":"Ethereum"},{"id":"Blockchains"}],"metadata":[{"id":"references","value":"[{\"id\":\"laru47k749\",\"url\":\"https://www.coinbase.com/price/songbird#:~:text=What%20is%20Songbird%20(SGB)%3F,functionality%20of%20the%20associated%20mainnet.\",\"description\":\"Coinbase Songbird\\n\",\"timestamp\":1697786348789},{\"id\":\"cntlf40o7yr\",\"url\":\"https://www.kraken.com/learn/what-is-sgb#\",\"description\":\"Kraken Songbird\",\"timestamp\":1697786366237},{\"id\":\"plxig1tr3e\",\"url\":\"https://flare.network/governance/\",\"description\":\"Flare governance\",\"timestamp\":1697786427682},{\"id\":\"x1ezk1amto\",\"url\":\"https://flare.network/songbird/\",\"description\":\"flare songbird\",\"timestamp\":1697786436473},{\"id\":\"nz7s2icp3bn\",\"url\":\"https://flare.network/flare-portal/\",\"description\":\"Flare portal\",\"timestamp\":1697786445476}]"},{"id":"website","value":"https://flare.network"},{"id":"instagram_profile","value":"https://www.instagram.com/flare_networks"},{"id":"twitter_profile","value":"https://twitter.com/FlareNetworks"},{"id":"linkedin_profile","value":"https://www.linkedin.com/company/flarenetwork/"},{"id":"youtube_profile","value":"https://www.youtube.com/c/Flare_Networks"},{"id":"discord_profile","value":"https://discord.com/invite/flarenetwork"},{"id":"reddit_profile","value":"https://www.reddit.com/r/FlareNetworks"},{"id":"telegram_profile","value":"https://t.me/FlareNetwork"},{"id":"github_profile","value":"https://github.com/flare-foundation"},{"id":"coingecko_profile","value":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/songbird"},{"id":"medium_profile","value":"https://medium.com/flarenetwork"},{"id":"previous_cid","value":"QmS3RTkbr2HLY8iqgsEPLpbPBpmMVS48gwgjnZnJcxPo9k"}],"user":{"id":"0x5456afEA3aa035088Fe1F9Aa36509B320360a89e"},"author":{"id":"0xf32ECD5c8f5633212f1a25A3931aDDc0CEc42938","profile":{"username":"Tara","avatar":"QmcYZFprbPwBjahvN3cjVsdTGtYgCx8jM1Myeb7yYJyeUF"}},"media":[{"name":"image","id":"QmVxcixxTfSqeLV1dLTLkn5TgRnjyJF7nu3v3iKPPeJiui","size":"0.04","type":"GALLERY","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"Screenshot 2023-10-20 at 15.12.47.png","id":"QmZeZGFrn5eQuAv4eAVNpa9ixoq38Ru6E583LFbaHMpu8d","size":"0.10","type":"GALLERY","source":"IPFS_IMG"}],"views":154,"events":[],"linkedWikis":{"blockchains":["flare"]},"ipfs":"QmS3RTkbr2HLY8iqgsEPLpbPBpmMVS48gwgjnZnJcxPo9k","transactionHash":"0x248c30576cc4bb3848a97057e5f796fcf228cc139578cac78351a7a0b512ed2e","created":"2023-10-20T07:11:24.000Z","updated":"2023-10-20T07:21:02.000Z","images":[{"id":"QmcN1v7KXFWhfimYJitDuA6nKLtCE7M817D9YRu4xveaw8","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}]}
