About Fluent

Fluent’s mission is to make programming for Ethereum as seamless as programming for the web.

To that end, we are building a permissionless, credibly neutral L2 blockchain on Ethereum that supports general-purpose smart contract execution with apps written in Solidity and traditional programming languages. It will also provide settlement, proof aggregation and messaging between custom state machines. Fluent will be powered by the zkWasm VM (Fluent VM) and framework (Fluentbase), and will enable the creation of novel apps previously impractical using blockchain-based infrastructure.

On a personal level, we believe in authenticity, empathy, transparency, clear communication, healthy skepticism and kindness. We’re ambitious, want to make an impact on the world, but we don’t take ourselves TOO seriously 🙃.
