Fuel is an innovative operating system designed specifically for Ethereum Rollups. By addressing key challenges such as parallelization, state-minimized execution and interoperability, Fuel said it ensures these Rollups can run without compromise.
Today (5/30), Fuel stated that it has launched the Ethereum test network Sepolia.

FuelVM: Improving performance and efficiency
FuelVM builds on the experience of the Ethereum ecosystem and incorporates many long-term proposed improvements that were not implemented in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) due to backwards compatibility requirements. These improvements include parallel trade execution and support for multiple native assets.
Fuel provides processing power by executing transactions in parallel using strict state access lists and in a structured manner using the UTXO model. FuelVM enables full nodes to identify the accounts involved in a transaction and map dependencies before execution. This allows Fuel to leverage multiple CPU threads and cores that would normally sit idle in single-threaded blockchains, significantly increasing computing power, state access, and transaction throughput.
Sway Language: Designed for high computing environments
Fuel provides a powerful developer experience through its domain-specific language (DSL) Sway. Sway is based on the Rust language and has syntax designed for blockchain virtual machines, eliminating the need for lengthy boilerplate code. Sway was created with FuelVM and is optimized for Fuel's high-compute environments.
Combining the best of Rust and Solidity
Sway combines the best elements of Rust and Solidity. It prioritizes compile-time analysis and safety, similar to Rust's borrow checker, while adopting Rust's syntax. From Solidity, Sway adopts the smart contract paradigm and has built-in top-level contract storage and blockchain mechanisms to make contract writing intuitive and safe.
static audit
Sway introduces static auditing to smart contracts to enhance security. It is high-performance and has scalable optimization channels and a modular backend capable of targeting various blockchain architectures.
Developer Tools: Integrated Development Environment
Fuel's development environment is powered by a powerful set of developer tools. Fuel provides a vertically integrated development experience by integrating the best features of smart contract languages like Solidity with the paradigms of the Rust tool ecosystem. Every component from the virtual machine to the CLI works together to provide developers with a coherent and efficient workflow.
In summary, Fuel represents a major advancement in the field of Ethereum rollups, providing superior processing power, friendly Sway language, and a fully integrated development environment. By learning from the Ethereum ecosystem and introducing innovative solutions, Fuel is expected to set new standards in blockchain technology.
