What is Fuse Network?
Fuse Network is set to redefine the landscape of blockchain-based payments with its innovative features and powerful network. Currently in transition, the network’s Node Sale Event on Feb 11th marks a pivotal step in engaging developers and stakeholders in shaping the future governance of the network. When the transition is complete, Fuse Ember will be a zkEVM-based blockchain designed to enable scalable, efficient, and private payment solutions for businesses worldwide. With a throughput of up to 9,000 transactions per second, the network integrates zero-knowledge technology to deliver a high-performance infrastructure for Web3 applications. A 1:1 token migration to the new chain will ensure continuity as the Fuse ecosystem transitions.
Fuse Network empowers businesses by offering operational benefits through an EVM-compatible platform with APIs and SDKs that enable tailored blockchain payment systems. By addressing pain points in cross-border payments, loyalty programs, and micropayments, Fuse Network is shaping the future of blockchain-based financial transactions.
Fuse will leverage NodeOps to streamline and decentralize network operations. By incorporating Validium nodes, NodeOps participants play a crucial role in securing the network, processing transactions, and maintaining data availability. These nodes are represented by non-transferable NFTs, which grant exclusive rights to emissions and fees for the first year, incentivizing active participation. Through NodeOps, Fuse fosters community involvement in governance by allowing node operators to vote on protocol decisions and earn rewards, including a share of transaction fees and project emissions. This innovative approach empowers businesses, developers, and entrepreneurs to contribute to Fuse Network’s scalability, security, and efficiency while benefiting from its growth.
Understanding Blockchain Payments
Dr. Ira Ryk-Lakhman, COO at Fuse Network, emphasizes that blockchain payments, often termed Web3 Payments, provide groundbreaking solutions for businesses. Despite their transformative potential, blockchain payments remain misunderstood, hindering their adoption. Fuse Network aims to bridge this gap by offering accessible, secure, and efficient blockchain-based payment solutions.
