🎙️🔥 Tune on the recent Unblock'd Podcast episode with Fluence co-founder Tom Trowbridge

The power of decentralisation lives in the real economy it reveals: resources, capacity, and opportunity that centralised models routinely overlook.

📌 The talk covers:
> Decentralisation is becoming an economic mechanism.
> AI exposed the bottlenecks of centralised cloud.
> Institutional capital = new rules.
> why DePIN only works when builders share learnings instead of bunker down.

📢 Our first DePIN Day of 2026 will happen in Miami! 🇺🇸

🗓 Save the date — May 6, Consensus Week.

The industry keeps asking the same question: is DePIN alive or was it just a bubble?

We believe the answer is clear: DePIN is entering its Enterprise Phase — real infrastructure, verified revenue and real-world usage finally matter.

🔥 First time in Miami. A strong lineup in the making. As always — expect something powerful.

⚡️ Excited to share another great project built on Fluence!

⚙️ Fine-tuning DeepSeek-R1 for Smart Contract Security by Nishant Pandav.

▫️Nishant fine-tuned DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B for smart contract vulnerability detection using GRPO + LoRA on a single A100 80GB.
▫️ The biggest gain was vulnerable vs clean classification and structured output reliability, improving first-pass screening and integration.
▫️ Fine-grained diagnosis lags, DASP categorization improved modestly, and SWC identification remains weak, limiting audit reliability.
▫️ Training charts show the model learned format compliance faster than security reasoning, improving usability before trustworthiness.
▫️ The Hugging Face release makes the model testable, check out here.
▫️ Built on Fluence GPU for just $30.97, this makes it a strong low-cost task-specific model prototype
