FluentThe History of Wasm in Blockchain
Inception of WasmThe web has come a long way since 1989. What began with simple, static pages has blossomed into a world of full-blown applications supporting billions of users. Because web “apps” required dynamic interaction with elements in the HTML document, JavaScript was introduced. It gained widespread popularity and was for a while the only programming language used in the browser. JavaScript as a standard was useful yet limiting. What if some developers didn’t know JavaScript? What if...
FluentUnifying VMs with Blended Execution
Existing general purpose blockchains support apps targeting one virtual machine (VM). They offer single execution of smart contracts written in the VM’s supported programming language(s). In order for users to interact with apps across different VMs, they must bridge between networks and manage various wallets and token standards. This introduces user friction and various trust and security assumptions based on how the bridges are designed. We propose a new paradigm to unify VMs: blended exec...
FluentIntroducing Fluent Public Devnet: Building Wasm and EVM-based Blended Apps
If you’ve been following the Fluent journey, you know that Private Devnet V1 was shipped about six months ago and Private Devnet V2 was shipped about four months ago. Wasm-based contracts were delivered first, EVM-compatibility was then enabled, and now for public devnet Wasm and EVM-based contracts can call each other directly. For the first time, blended applications composed of Solidity, Rust and Vyper contracts can be built on Fluent.The First Blended DevnetFluent Public Devnet is an L2 e...

Developers are currently stuck with rigid execution environments that force them to use a limited set of programming languages and tools. Pick an EVM-only chain and use Solidity or pick an SVM-only chain and use Rust. The latter is more efficient but makes developers sacrifice valuable EVM network effects. Both environments, by themselves, are limiting and don’t let developers bring familiar programming languages, software libraries and off the shelf code from web2.
Fluent offers a different approach: blended execution.
Blended execution blurs the lines between virtual machines (VMs) and lets developers use web3-native and web2-native programming languages in one unified environment. It’s a maximally expressive design that can support arbitrary VMs.
The Fluent blockchain will blend the EVM, SVM, and Wasm, enabling dozens of programming languages (Rust, AssemblyScript, C++, etc.) and full compatibility with Ethereum and Solana development standards. As Fluent’s implementation of blended execution is so extensible, Fluent can integrate new VMs over time as they gain popularity.
Fluent Labs has raised $8M, led by Polychain Capital, to expand its core team and advance blended execution as the industry standard.
Other investment firms include dao5, Primitive Ventures, Symbolic, Builder Capital, Nomad Capital, Public Works, MH Ventures, The Rollup and more. Angel investors include Balaji, Mustafa Al-Bassam, Jason Yanowitz, Santiago Santos, Dingaling, Ekram Ahmed, Cristian Manea, Will Price and more.
With blended execution, users can access applications from different VM ecosystems in one place without switching wallets. Pssst... just a little more patience before you can try it yourself. In the meantime, follow Fluent on Twitter so you don’t miss a step of the journey: https://x.com/fluentxyz
There are currently around 60 projects in the Fluent ecosystem across DeFi, infrastructure, consumer, and gaming. Early developers are building a range of applications on Fluent, such as the first fully on-chain quant, a Web3-native Product Hunt, and a Fantasy Top for OnlyFans creators. And many more teams are building in stealth.
