What Fluence Cloud does

Fluence Cloud is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that operates a cloud computing platform delivering CPU and GPU compute at up to 85% lower cost than centralized hyperscalers. The platform is built on an Arbitrum Orbit L2 rollup (operated by Gelato and secured by Ethereum as the settlement layer), with FLT — a native utility token with 1 billion total supply — used to secure compute resources via staking and Proof of Capacity validation. Compute providers contribute hardware across Tier 1–4 data centers and stake $200 of FLT per activated core, while customers pay for workloads in USDC stablecoin and stakers/delegators earn FLT rewards vesting over six months.

The company's product portfolio includes Virtual Servers (CPU cloud starting at $10/month), GPU Cloud (NVIDIA H200 on-demand rental), AI Agents hosting infrastructure, Blockchain Node deployment, Persistent Storage volumes, and supporting modules such as FLT staking (up to 12% APR), the Pointless gamified community program, the Fluence DAO for governance, and pFLT liquid staking via Parasail. At launch the network had 850,000 CPU cores under Letters of Intent with 600,000 additional cores on a waitlist, requiring $170 million of stake to fully activate. Enterprise-grade data centers are certified for GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC2.

Fluence serves a multi-sided audience: developers and AI/ML practitioners needing low-cost GPU compute, Web3 and blockchain node operators requiring censorship-resistant infrastructure (named customers include NEO/SpoonOS, AR.IO, Spheron/RapidNode, Nodes.Garden, Zeeve, and Tashi), data center operators monetizing spare capacity as compute providers, and FLT holders earning staking rewards. Distribution is product-led and community-led via the self-serve console, DePIN Day global conferences, DePINed Podcast, and a 100,000+ member community. Revenue exceeds $1 million ARR (stablecoin revenue plus token rewards), and customer savings versus centralized cloud have totaled $2.5 million since the platform went live in 2024.

Revenue model

1. Compute Services Revenue: Customers pay for compute services in USDC stablecoin. Revenue split between compute providers and FLT stakers based on delegation rate (initially ~20%). Providers set their own prices for customer jobs, earning more from useful compute than from FLT capacity rewards.
2. FLT Token Rewards: Compute providers and stakers earn FLT rewards for adding capacity and submitting Proof of Capacity. Rewards vest linearly over 6 months. Protocol targets $10 per core per month, adjusting daily based on FLT price. Unvested rewards forfeit if compute provider goes offline.
3. FLT Token Distribution and Treasury: Total supply: 1,000,000,000 FLT. Categories: Fluence Labs (20%), Investors (25.4%), Launch pool/MM (5%), DAO Treasury (34.6%), Community reward (5%), Capacity incentive (10%). FLT buyback program drives deflation using protocol revenue.

Core offering

Fluence Cloud runs a decentralized cloud computing marketplace that lets customers deploy CPU Virtual Servers and GPU Cloud workloads (including AI inference, fine-tuning, and model serving) at up to 85% lower cost than hyperscalers, with zero egress fees and unlimited bandwidth. A separate supply-side network of compute providers contributes hardware secured by FLT token staking and Proof of Capacity validation, while customers pay in USDC stablecoin and FLT holders earn staking rewards and govern the protocol via a DAO.

Product overview

Fluence Cloud is a decentralized cloud computing platform that offers a portfolio of products including Virtual Servers, GPU Cloud, AI Agents, and Blockchain Nodes, all built on an open-source protocol powered by FLT token economics. The platform enables compute providers to contribute hardware resources while customers access enterprise-grade CPU and GPU compute at up to 85% lower cost than centralized cloud providers. The FLT token secures the network through staking, enables DAO governance, and provides RWA tokenized exposure to AI compute demand. Key supporting products include the Staking mechanism (earning up to 12% APR), the Pointless Program for community rewards, the Fluence DAO for protocol governance, and integrations with decentralized storage networks (Filecoin, Arweave, Akave, IPFS) for AI workloads.
