Fuel LabsIntroducing Fuel Season 1 (FS-1) and Phase 2 Genesis Drop
Today marks the conclusion of Phase 2 and with it the Fuel Points Program. We want to thank all participants who helped bootstrap Ignition, and now turn our focus to building Fuel into a fully integrated liquidity hub. As we mark the end of the Fuel Points program, we are excited to unveil two initiatives: Phase 2 of the Genesis Drop and the start of Fuel Season 1 (FS-1).Genesis Drop: Phase 2 - 150,000,000 FUEL1.5% of FUEL total supply.Rewards for participation in Phase 2 of the Points Progra...
Fuel LabsAnnouncing Phase 2 of the Fuel Points Program
We are excited to announce the final phase in the Fuel Points Program, now live with Fuel Ignition. With Phase 2, you can continue earning points while supporting the growth of the Fuel ecosystem. With Phase 2 of Fuel Points, we’re ensuring that the network grows in a way that is positive sum for points program participants, the Fuel ecosystem projects and the broader Fuel community. Qualifying users can participate in the program, while earning rewards for meaningfully engaging with the ecos...
Fuel LabsSway: The Next-Generation Language for Smart Contracts
As blockchain applications become more complex, there is a strong need for safe and smart contract languages. Many platforms today rely on languages and virtual machines (VMs) that weren't originally designed to handle the unique constraints and requirements of blockchain execution. It’s no secret that the architectural decisions made in 2014 for Solidity and the EVM now show clear signs of age. Among these is their susceptibility to vulnerabilities that make writing secure Ethereum smar...

Introducing $FUEL—the native token of the Fuel network.
The FUEL token is central to our mission to build a more fair and verifiable internet.
FUEL secures Fuel's decentralized sequencer and eliminates gas fees for users by introducing a novel economic incentive structure based on Application Specific Sequencing.
FUEL will transform the Ignition ecosystem by enabling web2-like, fee-less experiences for users, making blockchain technology accessible to the masses. Fuel Ignition is the fastest (>600 TPS) and least expensive (<$0.0002 min per transaction) Optimistic rollup on Ethereum.
Fuel would be nothing without its community. With the introduction of FUEL, we aim to level the playing field and offer fair access to both existing and new members of our growing ecosystem.
Our launch date target will be in the next two weeks.
20% of FUEL’s total initial supply will go to our community. We’re grateful to our long-standing friends, builders and users who have been with us since the beginning. FUEL will be released to the community based on various eligibility criteria, including participation in the Fuel Points Program and incentivized testnet. In total, over 51% of FUEL will be allocated to the community, ecosystem, and R&D.
The Fuel Points Program is still running, join Phase 2*
While our community forms the backbone of Fuel, we’re eager to welcome newcomers into our ecosystem. As a result, alongside our ongoing Phase 2 Points Program, we plan to launch a community expansion effort in collaboration with Legion, Impossible Finance, and Bitget before launch.
Sign up to your favorite platforms* over the next 7 days:
Details about the community expansion and future incentives will be shared this week.
*Not available to residents of the US, UK, or any countries or regions that are the subject of comprehensive sanctions
$FUEL will secure the Fuel sequencing network, pay for chain resources and eliminate transaction fees for users while creating new markets for L2 applications.
The rollup landscape today is dominated by centralized sequencing solutions, raising concerns about censorship resistance, fairness, and liveness.
Fuel is taking steps to address these challenges. Initially, Fuel will decentralize a network of proposers, then decentralize building, and then will aim to increase the total number of proposers and builders.
The Fuel sequencer employs proof-of-stake (PoS) based on the Tendermint consensus, enabling a decentralized staking network. Users can actively participate in securing the network by delegating their FUEL to sequencer proposers in exchange for a share of staking rewards.
Our vision is to fully decentralize sequencing, which is essential for improving fault tolerance, liveness and censorship resistance. While centralized solutions dominate the space today, Fuel is committed to evolving toward a shared, permissionless network for its rollups.
Validator participation and staking will commence with Fuel Genesis, with detailed information on permissionless staking and running a validator available at a later date.
FUEL will be used to pay for sequencer resources such as data availability, ordering and inclusion of blocks for rollups on the Fuel sequencer. FUEL will also be used for sequencer network fees, which play an essential role in decentralizing L2s built on Fuel as well as ensuring an open and decentralized sequencing network.
Fuel Ignition will continue to accept gas fees in ETH.
FUEL gives dApps greater influence on the inclusion and sequencing of transactions, while avoiding the complexities and limitations of traditional blockchain architectures. Stakers can bond their FUEL tokens to a specific application and earn rewards from those applications in exchange for locking their tokens. This allows transactions to be free for the user and executed according to application specific order. The result is a novel market for L2 chain resources that engages stakers to enable best in class user experiences (i.e. staking resources will receive tokens from applications, and enable free user transactions).
Note: More details about these activities, including instructions on how to delegate and stake will be provided soon.
$FUEL is an Ethereum Mainnet ERC-20, but will also be available on L2. It will have a total initial supply of 10 billion. The total outstanding supply of FUEL tokens is split across:
Community - used for incentives, programs, campaigns and activations for the Fuel community, unassigned tokens can be used to help establish the sequencing network. Staking rewards will only be used for community efforts.
Ecosystem and R&D - for ecosystem development and Fuel technology R&D, unassigned tokens can be used to help establish the sequencing network. Any staking rewards will only be used for ecosystem development efforts and to enable L2 level incentives.
Ecosystem and R&D 24 - for ecosystem development and Fuel technology R&D. These locked tokens can be staked, unassigned tokens can be used to help establish the sequencing network, during the 24-month block-by-block linear release. Any staking rewards will only be used for ecosystem development efforts and to enable L2 level incentives.
Contributors 48 - core project contributors subject to a 48-month block-by-block linear release of tokens.
Contributors 24 - includes past and present Fuel contributors, subject to a 24-month block-by-block linear release of tokens.
Purchasers - token purchasers from 2020 to 2022, subject to a 24-month block-by-block linear release.
Note: Team and Purchasers can't stake locked tokens.
As a part of earlier efforts to decentralize the Fuel V1 sequencer, an ERC-20 staking token was both privately granted and sold to a select group of Fuel contributors and purchasers which makes up the entirety of the Purchasers, Contributors 24 and Contributors 48 categories specified above. This token will be upgradable to the FUEL token with a programmatic, minimum 24-month, linear block-by-block release starting at the token launch date, which is enforced after being upgraded.
We outline three key phases for advancing the decentralization of the network.
Phase 0, now completed, established 12 sequencer proposers and introduced initial security measures.
Phase 1 focuses on decentralized block building and enhanced security.
Phase 2 aims to significantly scale the network with more proposers, and advanced security features.
This is just the start of our journey, and we're excited to share our plans for advancing the network.
We’re grateful to the Fuel community which has grown to nearly 850,000+ members. There are currently over 50 ecosystem dApps deployed on Ignition, including Mira, Griffy and Swaylend. Our global community spans Turkey, Latin America, North America, Africa, and Asia.
