What is Fuel?
Fuel is an operating system purpose-built for Ethereum rollups. Fuel’s unique architecture allows rollups to solve for PSI (parallelization, state minimized execution, interoperability). Powered by the FuelVM, Fuel aims to expand Ethereum’s capability set without compromising security or decentralization.

What is a Rollup Operating System?
Rollup Operating System is the software that is used to launch and run rollups. There are several Rollup Operating Systems in the Ethereum space eg. OP Stack, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.
In the world of rollups, Ethereum acts like the hardware on which everything is built. The Rollup Operating System operates on top of this hardware thereby solving for scalability.
Any blockchain operating system would typically consist of a virtual machine, the language used to program the blockchain and the toolchain used to launch and publish applications.

Why was Fuel created?
Ethereum Rollups have become the infrastructure of choice for chain builders. Rollups inherit Ethereum’s security and thereby allow builders to focus on optimizing execution and performance. Current architectures which use general-purpose computing systems or monolithic L1 architectures are unable to cope with this complex environment.
To enable a rollup-centric future, a purpose built architecture is required, something specifically geared towards the needs of Ethereum rollups. This architecture will have to combine the features of all other L1s, namely Bitcoin’s UTXO model, Solana’s parallelization, Ethereum’s security, Move’s Asset-Oriented design, and Cosmos’s interoperability and VM customization.
Fuel is designed to incorporate all of these features along with state minimised execution thus creating the ultimate operating system for Ethereum rollups. Fuel also has native account abstraction and supports transaction signing with wallets from any network.
Fuel aims to bring new capabilities into the Ethereum ecosystem without making compromises on security or decentralization.

Purpose-built for rollups
Blockchains are social systems built to create and distribute assets, versus resource constrained computing systems. Blockchains have evolved to do one thing: manage assets.
The world of Ethereum Rollups requires blockchain designs to be fast, modular and multichain. Using general-purpose architectures, like RISC-V, WASM, etc., or monolithic L1 VMs has resulted in poor user experience, fragmented tooling, developer complexity and even security issues.
By devising an operating system purpose-built for blockchain programming and managing assets, Fuel addresses the shortcomings of fragmented scalability solutions and generic architectures. Designed from the ground up with assets as first-class citizens, Fuel is the best operating system for rollups.

From Coordination to Collaboration
Ethereum was created to solve the problem of Human Coordination. Fuel aims to solve the problem of Human Collaboration.
The game of coordination is like tending a garden, while the game of cooperation is to evolve a garden into a biosphere, capable of supporting all manner of life. By solving execution, Fuel allows humans to build scalable and robust economies on Ethereum’s decentralized layer of trust.
Just like coordination, collaboration is an infinite game. Collaboration requires one to be flexible, so that one can achieve outcomes in any situation. Fuel imbibed this philosophy by baking flexibility into its design which allows it to suit a variety of needs.
