Moonhill Capital invests in Fuel
Today, Fuel is the fastest modular execution layer. Fuel delivers the highest security and flexible throughput, focusing on a superior developer experience.
OVERVIEW
Fuel Labs is at the forefront of blockchain scalability, offering a modular execution layer (MEL) designed to enhance Ethereum's performance. By introducing the Fuel Virtual Machine (FuelVM) and the Sway programming language, Fuel Labs provides developers with tools to build high-performance decentralized applications (dApps) that are both efficient and secure.
The platform's architecture emphasizes parallel transaction execution, enabling rapid processing speeds while maintaining decentralization. In October 2024, Fuel Labs launched "Ignition," a high-performance Ethereum Layer-2 rollup powered by the FuelVM, designed for home verification and scalability.
Since its inception in 2019, Fuel Labs has secured significant investments to advance its mission. In September 2022, the company raised $80 million in a Series A funding round led by Blockchain Capital and Stratos Technologies, with participation from Alameda Research, CoinFund, and Bain Capital Crypto.
This funding has been instrumental in developing Fuel's modular execution layer and expanding its ecosystem.
Fuel Labs is committed to fostering a robust developer community. The introduction of Sway, a Rust-based programming language, empowers developers to write reliable and efficient smart contracts tailored for the FuelVM. Additionally, the company maintains an active GitHub repository, providing open-source tools and resources to facilitate innovation within the blockchain space.
