Now live on mainnet, the Flux-Algo parallel asset enables greater innovation and collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem
March 3, 2023 – Cambridge, UK – Flux, the most decentralized Web3 cloud infrastructure, and Algorand, the world’s most advanced, secure, and reliable layer-1 blockchain, have partnered to create a parallel asset (PA) that bridges between the two Web3 ecosystems and transforms the world of blockchain technology. This partnership paves the way for the expansion of cross-platform development opportunities, enabling greater innovation and collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem, as well as securing truly decentralized infrastructure for Web3 applications.
Through this partnership, Flux holders will gain access to Algorand, used to run smart contracts, support the creation of various assets such as tokens or NFTs, and applications ranging from DeFi to NFT marketplaces to gaming, stablecoins and much more. This partnership also expands the DeFi and cross-platform development opportunities across both blockchains, building a bridge for dedicated developers and communities at Algorand. The launch of the Flux-Algorand PA is a significant milestone for both Algorand and Flux ecosystems.
Flux PAs are native Flux tokens on other blockchains, allowing Flux to “travel” across blockchains. PAs support the ambition to keep building Web3 and expand the possibilities of collaboration across blockchain ecosystems. Flux’s comprehensive suite of decentralized computing services and blockchain-as-a-service solutions provides Web3 developers with the tools, services, and infrastructure needed to deploy their applications in a fully decentralized manner.
Daniel Keller, Co-Founder of Flux and CEO of InFlux
“We are excited to work with Algorand on bridging the gap between these two Web3 ecosystems because of the network’s reliability, speed and commitment to sustainability. This new parallel asset provides developers with unique development opportunities and cost-efficient hosting on Flux’s decentralized cloud infrastructure. We are committed to leveraging our strengths and resources to drive the adoption of decentralized solutions and create a better future for all.“
The Flux-Algo PA distribution is scheduled for today, March 3, 2023 which will distribute Flux-Algo tokens based on the October 31, 2022 snapshot. The snapshot and parallel mining claims will launch first while Fusion swaps inside the secure wallet Zelcore will come online at a later date to ensure a smooth deployment. Non-custodial wallet Zelcore recently added support for the Algorand blockchain.
