Fuel is an operating system designed specifically for Ethereum Rollups. It accelerates and enhances blockchain performance without compromise.
FuelVM
FuelVM is a virtual machine that incorporates the best ideas from the Ethereum ecosystem. It leverages enhancements that couldn’t be implemented in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) due to backward compatibility constraints.
The main advantage of FuelVM is its ability to execute transactions in parallel. This means the blockchain processes data faster by utilizing multiple CPU cores simultaneously rather than relying on a single core, as most blockchains do. As a result, FuelVM can handle a higher volume of transactions and perform complex computations more efficiently.
Sway Programming Language
Fuel has developed its own programming language called Sway. Inspired by Rust, Sway is built specifically for smart contracts. It combines:
Safety and robust error checking (similar to Rust)
Ease of writing smart contracts (similar to Solidity)
Optimized blockchain performance
Below is a brief overview to help you get started with running a node for the Fuel Sequencer blockchain.
