Fluence launches the "Guardian" program: thousands of decentralized SLA nodes reshape network security

With the rapid rise in demand for decentralized computing infrastructure, the Fluence platform recently launched the "Guardian" program, an innovative initiative involving community participation, aimed at ensuring the security and efficient operation of the network through thousands of lightweight decentralized nodes, while providing passive income and other incentives for participants.

What is Fluence "Guardian"?

"Guardians" are independent Nodes in the Fluence network responsible for monitoring the health of the network in real-time. These Nodes validate the normal operation of the Fluence protocol by analyzing telemetry data and on-chain data, replacing traditional centralized validation models and introducing a Decentralization validation mechanism, thus enhancing the network's risk resistance.

As the first line of defense in cybersecurity, Guardians not only ensure the stability of the Fluence computing protocol but also bring generous rewards to community members running nodes. By participating in this program, users can not only earn FLT incentive tokens as passive income but also enjoy computing discounts, further promoting the expansion and optimization of the Decentralization network.

How it works? The role of the guardian

In the Fluence network, computing providers must adhere to a series of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), such as ensuring 99.9% uptime and meeting specific response latency requirements. However, relying solely on providers for monitoring is not sufficient, which is where the key role of guardians comes in.

Guardians ensure compliance with the agreed SLA requirements by regularly monitoring the operational status of providers, specifically including:

• Uptime and Latency Monitoring: Guardians will regularly check the service availability and response time of providers to ensure they meet the promised standards.
• Transparent Data Reporting: All collected availability and latency data will be open and transparent for customer reference, allowing them to make informed service choices.
• Automated Execution Mechanism: If the provider fails to meet the promised SLA (for example, uptime below 99.9%), the system will trigger an automatic penalty mechanism:
  • The provider's funding account will be reduced, and this portion of the funds will be redistributed to the affected clients according to the terms of the agreement.
• When the provider fails, the guardians participating in the monitoring will receive FLT rewards from the failed provider.

This mechanism creates an economic incentive feedback loop: providers are motivated to maintain service quality, guardians are motivated to monitor honestly, and customers can gain sufficient information and protection.

How to Become a Fluence Guardian

Any user interested in participating in the protection of the Decentralization network can become a Fluence Guardian through the following two methods:

1. Holding FLT Tokens: Users only need to hold enough FLT tokens to obtain guardian permission and become part of the network monitoring.
2. Earn Points through the Fluence Pointless Program: Active participants in the Fluence community can accumulate points to qualify for Guardian permissions.

These two methods ensure that token holders and community contributors can participate, promoting the diversity and Decentralization of the network.

Why are guardians crucial?

In the current global cloud computing market, centralized platforms are facing increasing network security risks, geopolitical instability, and potential attack threats. Fluence enhances the resilience of its decentralized computing platform by introducing guardians, providing users with a safer and more transparent computing environment.

The guardian mechanism not only enhances the transparency and risk resistance of the Fluence platform, but also helps Fluence further develop its vision for 2026, aiming to position the FLT token as a decentralized and widely used computing asset, promoting the development of the smart economy and the maturation of the computing market.

Participate in the Fluence Guardian Program, build a Decentralization future

The Fluence Guardian Program is open to the world, and anyone who intends to contribute to network security and scalability can join. The program has low device requirements, a clear participation path, and users can engage in the construction of decentralized computing while enjoying passive income.

Through this program, Fluence is not only able to optimize its network security but also lay a more solid foundation for the future of global Decentralization computing platforms. Join Fluence Guardians, become a part of network security, and share in the success of Decentralization computing.

This plan is a key step for Fluence to achieve its 2026 vision by deeply embedding the FLT token into the infrastructure security layer, promoting it to become a landmark asset in the field of decentralized computing. The first batch of guardians will be selected through the Pointless program, providing strategic opportunities for early contributors.

Interested participants can initiate through the following steps:

1. Visit the Fluence official website to register for the Guardian program
2. Choose the asset staking or community contribution path
3. Deploy lightweight monitoring client
4. Start earning network rewards

As the plan progresses, Fluence will gradually open up advanced features such as Node rating and insurance pools, building a complete decentralized infrastructure security ecosystem. This innovation not only redefines the boundaries of network security but also provides a replicable governance model for the infrastructure construction in the Web3 era.
