Forget Stagnation: Fluent - Revolutionizing the World of Communication and Work

Fluent is ushering in a new era in blockchain technology by introducing the first mixed execution network. This project promises to revolutionize the creation and interoperability of decentralized applications (dApps) by enabling true interoperability and cross-compatibility between different virtual machines (VMs).

Look to the future with Fluent

At its core, Fluent is a zero-disclosure virtual machine (zkVM), a layer 2 network and development framework that supports the creation of a variety of blockchain applications. What makes Fluent unique is its ability to simultaneously simulate the execution environments (EE) of multiple VMs. Whether it's Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Solana's SVM, or WebAssembly (Wasm), Fluent combines them into a single execution environment. Developers can build applications by combining smart contracts from different VMs written in different programming languages such as Solidity, Rust and others without compatibility issues.

Fluent VM: Optimizing Cross-VM Execution

At the heart of the Fluent architecture is Fluent VM, a minimally modified version of Wasm, called rWasm, optimized for zero-disclosure operations. This simplified version retains full compatibility with the standard Wasm instruction set, but is enhanced for zk-proofing. With rWasm, Fluent enables seamless interoperability and execution of different VMs in zk-rollup, which is important for secure, scalable and efficient blockchain operations.

Fluent VM is designed to simulate and compile all supported VMs into rWasm for execution. This is achieved through specialized system contracts representing each VM, providing real interoperability and composability between different VMs. This architecture not only optimizes performance, but also opens up the possibility of integrating future VMs, making Fluent a highly extensible and future-proof network.

Unlocking atomic composability between VMs

One of the key features of Fluent is its support for atomic composability between applications targeting different VMs. Contracts created for different VMs - whether it's an EVM smart contract on Solidity or a Wasm contract on Rust - can interact with each other seamlessly and in real time. This allows developers to create “blended” applications, where smart contracts from different ecosystems work together as if they were on the same platform. Fluent manages interactions to ensure that all processes are atomic and synchronous, reducing complexity and increasing functionality.

Compatibility contracts

Bridging the gaps between VMs To ensure smooth interoperability between smart contracts running on different VMs, Fluent introduces compatibility contracts. These contracts serve as a bridge by defining execution environment (EE) standards for each VM and offering a unified API that allows contracts from different VMs to interact with each other. Interoperability contracts also include zk-optimized functions that ensure that all operations are efficient and auditable in a zero-disclosure environment.

An important component supporting these contracts is the Journaled ZK Trie (JZKT), a reversible zk-trie structure that makes the generation of zk proofs more efficient. It guarantees atomicity of all transactions - if any part of a transaction fails, the entire process is rolled back, preserving the integrity of the network.

Fluent L2 Network

The center for real-time cross-VM applications The Fluent Layer 2 network goes even further, enabling mixed execution of applications from different VM ecosystems. This zk-rollup supports both Wasm and EVM applications, making it an ideal environment for developers working across different blockchain ecosystems. Whether applications are deployed on Solidity, Vyper, or Solana Rust, developers can do so at no additional cost thanks to Fluent's compatibility with ABI codings for all contracts.

The beauty of the Fluent L2 network lies in its true composability. Applications from different ecosystems can work together instantly, all in one common state environment. Fluent's design is also highly modular and extensible, ensuring seamless integration of new virtual machines as they become available.
