We had previously dove into the depths of Fuel's infrastructure stack and what makes it tick. But this cycle has taught us one thing - that infrastructure can only take you so far? Its the app layer that determines which chains will ultimately win.
So, what can be built on Fuel?
We've been kicking around some ideas and exploring how Fuel's unique features unlock some cool applications. Think about it: Fuel's UTXO model, predicates, scripts and a rollup OS are all powerful tools that lead to things like:
- Orderbooks: Imagine orderbooks that run on user-defined rules with pre-confirmations and real time transaction processing
- Personalized DeFi: We can finally move away from generic yield and vault products that place all users together. With predicates users can request customized vaults with their own rules.
- Micropayments: Real-time, metered pricing for decentralized physical infrastructure networks and services. Paying only for what you use can generate a lot of consumer surplus that existing systems are not equipped to handle.
And that's just scratching the surface. We could build gaming with AI sidekicks, player-run game chains, and rollapp ecosystems that can compete with existing banking and e-commerce offerings.
We've put together a report that explores these ideas in detail. It's less about the technical deep-dive this time and more about sparking a conversation about what's possible on Fuel’s app layer with the powerful infrastructure under the hood.
