Latency is physically bounded: light in fiber travels ~200 km in ~1 ms, so every extra hop/distance adds measurable delay.
Putting compute closer to users = faster, smoother apps.
How Fluence fits (why that matters):
šš¼ Edge-first, decentralized compute: Fluence lets apps run logic on a distributed peer network instead of a single centralized cloud, so compute can execute nearer to users.
šš¼ Lower latency & better UX: Fewer network hops = faster responses for real-time apps (multiplayer, streaming inference, collaborative tools).
šš¼ Resilience & anti-censoring: No single provider to take down or censor your app; useful for open Web3 use cases.
šš¼ Cost & efficiency trade-offs: Shared, peer-provided resources can reduce vendor lock-in and enable new pricing/incentive models (think tokenized compute like $FLT).
