## Understand the architecture

Gain a deep understanding of the core concepts that differentiate Flare from other blockchains.
Its native data protocols - [Flare Time Series Oracle](/ftso/overview) and [Flare Data Connector](/fdc/overview) - are enshrined directly into the core [Flare Systems Protocol](/network/fsp), inheriting the full economic security of the Flare network.
