We are thrilled to announce Fluent’s private devnet, a major step in our journey to help web3 onboard millions of developers and power the next generation of scalable apps on Ethereum.
We envision a future where developers can enter the Ethereum ecosystem with the programming languages, frameworks and tools they love most and where the learning curve to build onchain is minimal. Realizing this vision starts with shipping a product and getting developer feedback - hence why we’re so excited about today.
This also marks the very start of zkWasm execution on Ethereum!
This week we’ll roll out a private release to our first cohort of launch partners.
This is a preliminary developer version of the Fluent L2 explicitly designed for deploying and interacting with Wasm-based smart contracts, utilizing a compatible go-Ethereum execution environment.
During this period, we will closely monitor the devnet, run extensive stress tests, and address issues that arise. Our aim is to iron out wrinkles and iterate towards a seamless developer experience.
🥁 Introducing our initial launch partners!
Giza: Platform for verifiable ML models and AI apps
Composable Finance: Cross-chain interoperability and intent execution protocol
Paima Studios: Framework for gaming, gamification and autonomous worlds
Tashi: Blazing fast decentralised gaming
Turbo: Next-gen 2D game engine and marketplace
Archetypal Labs: Onchain gaming studio and autonomous world infrastructure
Gameplan: Sports metaverse with mini-games and exclusive fan interactions
Hyper Oracle: Programmable zkOracle protocol
Vistara Labs: Hardware availability layer for modular blockchains
Modular Cloud: Block explorer and serverless data retrieval APIs for modular blockchains
We’ll be working closely with each of these projects and adapting the Fluent stack based on their input.
Don’t worry, you have not missed the boat.
We started with an intimate group to make sure everything goes smoothly, but we’ll onboard more launch partners and builders on a rolling basis. This approach also allows us to constantly introduce fresh perspectives and diversity into the Fluent ecosystem.
