The web3 ecosystem has been gradually undermined by an unbalanced insider-outsider dynamic, where early access is often reserved for a select few, leaving the broader community behind. With the introduction of FUEL, we’re changing that.

We’re taking a different approach, one that levels the playing field and offers fair access to all participants.

We are opening the doors to the Fuel Community Expansion, inviting all eligible participants to join us on our mission to build a more fair and verifiable internet. This initiative includes 20% of FUEL’s total initial supply, allowing for widespread participation from both our current community and new ones. In total, ~51% of FUEL will go to the community, ecosystem, and R&D.

We’re grateful to our long-standing community who have been with us since the beginning. A part of the Fuel community expansion will be released to the community based on various eligibility criteria, including participation in the Fuel Points Program and incentivized testnet. The Fuel Points Program is still running, you can join Phase 2 here.*

While our community forms the backbone of Fuel, we’re eager to welcome newcomers into our ecosystem. As a result, we plan to launch a community expansion effort in collaboration with Legion, Impossible Finance, and Bitget.

For the People

As part of the Fuel community expansion, FUEL will be released to the community based on various eligibility criteria, which include:

Points Program participation
Incentivized testnet usage
Yet-to-be-announced incentive programs

Our goal is to create a more balanced and accessible launch that benefits the entire community. ~51% of FUEL's total supply, including 20% from the initial supply, will go to the community, ecosystem, and R&D, with eligibility based on participation in initiatives like the Fuel Points Program and incentivized testnet. To learn more about FUEL, see our previous post.

Further details about Fuel Genesis, Points Program, and future incentives will be announced next week.

The Largest Multi-Platform Community Expansion in Web3 History

Our vision is for FUEL to achieve a truly fair, and accessible launch. Our community has been the backbone of our success so far, and with FUEL, we’re not only rewarding our current community, but we’re also opening the door to new communities and ecosystems.

As a result, in addition to the Points Program, we are also teaming up with Legion, Impossible Finance, and Bitget, in the largest multi-platform community expansion effort in web3 history.

These collaborations will play a key role in onboarding new communities globally, as well as encouraging active participation from the existing Fuel ecosystem.

FUEL the Future

The Fuel ecosystem is unstoppable, growing to nearly 850,000+ members with over 50 projects live on Ignition and new launches happening every week from the Fuel developers working on innovative use cases available only with the FuelVM and Sway. Our global community spans Turkey, Latin America, North America, Africa, and Asia.

The community is buzzing with excitement, supporting standout projects like Mira, Griffy and Swaylend, while fresh arrivals like Fuelup.fun and Spark are quickly gaining attention and momentum.

Here’s a quick look at some of the most exciting developments:

Griffy: Continues to innovate with its stateless prediction market, now featuring the GriffyBot—a Tinder-style twist that makes predictions more interactive and fun.
Swaylend: Reached a major milestone, surpassing $40 million in total supply, cementing its role as a leader in lending and borrowing on Ignition.
MIRA: Recently introduced permissionless pools, giving projects like Fuelup.fun the tools they need to achieve their goals and transition seamlessly to MIRA’s platform.
Fluid Protocol: Launched the first native stablecoin, USDF, on Fuel Ignition.
Ignition’s NFT scene: Fuel Pumps, Executors, Fuel Monkees, Fuel Pengus, Fuel Dudes, Sangoro, and Griffy Amplify are live on Thunder; exciting new collections like BearBros, Rocks, and RetroFuel are emerging every day.
Bridge to Fuel: It’s now easier than ever to bridge your assets from Ethereum, Solana, or any other L1 or L2, using tools like LayerSwap, RetroBridge, Gas.zip, Linkx, Orbiter, Owlto, and, of course, our native Fuel Bridge.
Charcoal Transpiler: Ourovoros built a Solidity-to-Sway transpiler to ease new developers’ transition to building with Sway.
