(FLT)

Fluence is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) designed for computing. It is described as "cloudless" because it operates without reliance on centralized infrastructure giants. Instead of traditional data centers controlled by a few large entities, Fluence aggregates CPU and GPU power from a global network of independent providers. This allows developers to build and run applications on a distributed, resilient infrastructure that remains independent of any single provider, ensuring greater censorship resistance and global availability.

Unlike platforms that primarily focus on leasing raw hardware, Fluence utilizes the "Aqua" protocol. Aqua is a coordination language that allows developers to compose complex distributed workflows across multiple nodes with cryptographic verifiability. This ensures that the execution of code is not only distributed but also provably correct. By focusing on coordination and verifiable execution rather than just resource allocation, Fluence provides a sophisticated framework for building truly decentralized applications and services.

Participation in the Fluence network occurs through different staking models. Direct hardware staking involves securing physical resources, such as a 64-core CPU, which requires a significant commitment of FLT tokens. For users looking for more accessible options, Fluence supports liquid staking through partners like Parasail. These platforms allow users to stake any amount of FLT to earn rewards. This tiered approach ensures that both large-scale hardware providers and individual community members can contribute to the network’s security and earn ecosystem incentives.

The "Pointless" Program is a loyalty and engagement initiative designed for the Fluence community. Users can earn points by participating in various activities, such as staking tokens, bridging assets to the Fluence network, and completing social tasks. These points serve as a metric for user contribution and often hint at future incentives or ecosystem rewards. It encourages active participation and long-term commitment from the community during the network's expansion phases.

Fluence implements "Confidential Computing" to ensure that user data remains private while being processed on public nodes. This is achieved through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which are secure enclaves within a processor. TEEs ensure that the data being processed is inaccessible even to the provider running the physical hardware. By utilizing these hardware-level security features, Fluence provides a secure environment for sensitive computations, making it suitable for enterprise use cases and private AI model training where data confidentiality is mandatory.

Fluence is expanding its capabilities beyond CPU-based computing toward a decentralized GPU Mesh, with a targeted launch for the second half of 2025. Once implemented, the GPU Mesh will allow the network to onboard GPU nodes specifically for decentralized AI inference and model training. This move is designed to support the growing demand for scalable, decentralized compute power in the AI sector. By providing a platform for AI developers to access distributed GPU resources, Fluence aims to become a core infrastructure provider for future artificial intelligence applications.
