What makes a technology successful? It’s hard to admit as a tech guy, but it’s not how innovative or sophisticated it is, rather than how many real-life applications it has. The “lower” the technology layer, the more important it becomes to acquire those willing to build on top of it. It is certainly the case for us. Fluence is a decentralized database network. Each word is equally important. To sustain the network, we need to attract real users. People and companies willing to use Fluence as a default storage.

Great marketing alone won’t do the trick. Partnerships with other great blockchain infrastructure developers play a crucial role here. This is a win-win-win situation: for us, for our partners, and for the community. It gives a solid back-end building arsenal instead of several independent tools not capable of working together.

We are happy to announce that this vision is coming to life thanks to the Friend platform!

There’s a strong team behind Friend that shares our vision and values. The platform enables developers to build and deploy right in the Virtual Cloud using the tools they need. Our partnership will allow using Fluence as a database inside the Friend platform thus creating more services built on top of it.

Also, we hope this partnership will allow our teams to communicate and share ideas and knowledge, which could boost both projects!

Thank you FriendUP, we’re glad to be a part of this!
