We welcomed July in Cannes during the amazing EthCC Week, showcasing Fluence Virtual Servers to the developer community. This month, our ecosystem continued to grow with exciting new integrations, partnerships, and product releases. The Pointless Program gained strong momentum, rolling out new features that attracted fresh users, token holders, and partners — with over 10 million FLT already aggregated in the program.
TLDR
Q2 DAO Report
The Fluence DAO released its Q2 2025 report with full transparency on financials, token metrics, and strategic progress. Highlights included:
• 5,490,000 FLT & 2,400,000 USD of total spendings
• 371,431,311 FLT & 4,555,164 USDC remaining balances
• 16,320,000 FLT & 270,000 USDC liquidity provided for market making
The $FLT Value Drivers & Utility
FLT is the economic engine, security layer, and coordination mechanism of Fluence — balancing compute supply & demand. This month, we’ve published a go-to guide on $FLT’s utility and value drivers. If you’ve been curious about the role $FLT plays in powering Fluence, it’s time to dive in.
Partnerships
In July, we kept growing the cloudless ecosystem by bringing in new partners, welcoming more users, and working with leading projects in the decentralized space. Here are this month’s highlights:
• We’ve teamed up with AR.IO to enable their node operators to deploy high-performance permanent gateways on Fluence’s decentralized compute network, strengthening Arweave’s operational layer.
• Through this integration, developers building on Neo’s SpoonOS can now seamlessly access Fluence’s compute network, unlocking a new level of performance for deploying and running AI agents.
New Features in Pointless
July introduced the most significant upgrade to the Pointless Program yet.
• Participants can now burn points to earn rewards — adding a new dimension of strategic decision-making and long-term engagement.
• Boosts and time-limited secret codes added gamified urgency and kept participation high. The rollout brought a fresh wave of activity and invited both new and seasoned community members to deepen their involvement.
• An updated UI makes tracking points, boosts, and reward opportunities more intuitive — reducing friction and making participation smoother for everyone.
Investor’s Guide to Revolutionary DePIN Staking on Fluence by Blockworks
Blockworks published an in-depth investor’s guide to Fluence, covering how our Cloudless Compute delivers enterprise-grade performance at up to 75% lower cost than traditional clouds.
EthCC Week & EthGlobal Hackathon
We had the perfect opportunity to battle-test Fluence Virtual Servers at the ETHGlobal Cannes hackathon — and they proved themselves. Hackers shipped everything from DeFi workflows to agentic backends, showing that decentralized compute is easy to deploy. Exited to reward the winners with deserved bounties.
? Reusable Fluence Virtual Servers Image
That’s OK, AI Folks: A quirky but powerful open-source AI agent, running in a clean and shareable Fluence image.
? Sensor streaming, deployed on Fluence.
Negravis: A real-time sensor data pipeline for off-grid solar arrays. It runs on decentralized VMs and communicates over p2p infra.
? Best Use of Fluence Virtual Servers in AI
AInfluencer: Multi-agent architecture that uses open models + Fluence for scalable, decentralized inference.
? Funding Rate Arbitrage, built on Fluence
Funding Rate Arb team built a 1inch limit order arbitrage bot and deployed it entirely on Fluence VMs.
DePINed Podcast: we keep exploring
July kept the mic buzzing on Tom’s podcast, with conversations diving deep into the minds driving the DePIN ecosystem forward. This month’s episodes:
Phil Mataras | Ep.61
AR.IO
How AR.IO is creating seamless, reliable access to permanent data and applications by adding essential services to the Arweave ecosystem
Cathy Zhu | Ep.60
ARO Network
How ARO aggregates idle bandwidth into a decentralized CDN, they buy‑and‑burn economics and deployment strategies
Naman Kabra | Ep. 59
NodeOps
Why CPU-based workloads matter more than GPU hype and how that ties into their token model and revenue plans
AMA, Interviews, Talks and Panel Discussions
Tom Trowbridge joined a panel discussion at Hack Seasons in Cannes alongside leading builders and researchers shaping the future of AI, Web3, and autonomous agents.
At ETHGlobal Cannes, Alexey Proshutinskii, our Engineering Lead, delivered a workshop on Cloudless Compute, explaining the process of deploying apps on Fluence Virtual Servers
Evgeny Ponomare joined MPost’s X Space to discuss how decentralized infrastructure is shaping the future of AI — from data flows to compute and real-world applications.
Our Head of BD, Justin Jose, joined Aethir India’s DePIN meetup in Bangalore to speak on building verifiable AI infrastructure and aligning compute supply with permissionless networks.
