Gate News 消息，4 月 24 日——Fluent 是一個基於以太坊的第二層網絡（Layer 2），於週五啟動其主網與原生 BLEND 代幣，上線時以 $50 百萬承諾的一日啟動流動性（day-one liquidity）起步。該網絡具備「blended execution（融合執行）」環境，使得針對不同虛擬機編寫的應用能夠在同一鏈狀態（chain state）內運行。 Fluent 的架構使用 rWasm（一種低階中間表示，low-level intermediate representation）來模擬 EVM、SVM 與 Wasm 的行為以進行執行。不同於傳統的多虛擬機（multiVM）做法將環境彼此隔離，融合執行將各種不同的虛擬機整合成一個具備共享狀態管理的協同系統。啟動時共有七個應用上線，包括 Vena 一個基於聲譽的借貸協議、Yumi 一項先買後付（buy-now-pay-later）服務、Pulse Predictor 一個鏈上輪詢協議、Pump Pals 一款幻想體育遊戲、Blend 一個收益整合工具，以及 Sprout 一個 DeFi 策略管理器。 BLEND 代幣作為網絡運作的效用代幣（utility token），涵蓋交易費用、質押以及社群訊號（community signaling）。使用者可以質押 BLEND 以獲取生態系統帶來的收益，並在 Prints（Fluent 的聲譽層，於 1 月推出）的聲譽分級中提升自己的層級。主網階段之後，協議質押（protocol staking）將允許持有者透過 FluentBFT（該協議的去中心化共識機制）把代幣委派給驗證節點（validator nodes）。主要 CEX 的公開代幣銷售於 4 月 7 日至 4 月 13 日進行，提供 10,000,000 枚代幣 相當於初始供應量的 1%，每枚代幣價格為 $0.10，意味著 百萬的完全稀釋估值（fully diluted valuation）。初始 BLEND 供應量設定為 10 億枚代幣，社群空投（airdrop）佔 0.71%，已排定在代幣生成事件（token generation event）時分配。 截至目前，Fluent Labs 已籌資 1,120 萬美元（$11.2 million）。一輪 百萬美元的種子輪（seed round）由 Polychain Capital 領投，於 2025 年 2 月完成，並獲 Primitive、dao5、Symbolic Capital、Builder Capital、Nomad Capital 以及 Public Works 參與。其後於 2025 年 7 月透過 Echo、Native Crypto、Q42、Wagmi VC 與 TPC Ventures 進行了 220 萬美元（$2.2 million）的測試網輪（testnet round），與 2026 年 4 月完成的 百萬美元公開代幣銷售相輔相成。近期，一家主要 CEX 宣布計劃上架 BLEND，讓使用者能在支援地區生成存款地址（deposit addresses）。
