Our take

Fuel Labs is the fastest execution layer for the modular blockchain stack, creating maximum security through the use of the Fuel Virtual Machine (FuelVM).

Designed to reduce the process involved in traditional blockchain virtual machine architectures, FuelVM uses insights from years of production blockchains to go beyond the limitations of EVM.

Supported by Blockchain Capital, Stratos, Alameda Research, CoinFund, and Capital Crypto to name a few, Fuel Labs intends to use the capital gained to solve problems within the industry, opening up cases for the next generation of DeFi.
