The Internet Was Meant to Be Open — Why it is not?

A small number of corporations manage the core infrastructure of the web. Even decentralized technologies still depend on them, leading to hidden vulnerabilities.

But change is underway! In the latest article by Tom Trowbridge, he explores the DePIN Pledge and how it’s bringing together builders, developers, and visionaries to rebuild digital infrastructure on decentralized networks.

→ Compute, storage, and connectivity are moving toward blockchain-powered systems.

→ By 2035, AI, supply chains, and energy networks will integrate these technologies, making them more resilient, censorship-resistant, and truly decentralized.

Dear Fluence Community,

As a part of a broader delisting of multiple tokens due to reduced volume following the ByBit hack, FLT has been recently delisted from the ByBit exchange.

• Deposits for FLT will no longer be available after Apr 28, 2025, 8AM UTC.
• Withdrawals for FLT will no longer be available after Jul 28, 2025, 8AM UTC.

We recommend withdrawing or swapping your FLT tokens before Jul 28, 2025, 8AM UTC, as they may be converted into stablecoins on your behalf if they remain on the exchange after the delisting.

This decision by ByBit does not impact the fundamentals of the Fluence project. FLT remains actively traded on other platforms (Gate.io, Uniswap, MEXC, Biconomy.com, and others), and we are diligently working to enhance liquidity and pursue new listing opportunities.

Our roadmap remains unchanged. We continue to make steady progress toward building a decentralized cloud compute platform and advancing the broader DePIN ecosystem.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. The journey is only just beginning.

— The Fluence Team
