@Fluence DAO’s Q1 2026 report exposes the mechanical side of the pivot, where capital actually moved, what got shut down,

and how the system is being restructured around Ethereum.

The DAO spent 400,000 FLT and 1.2 million USD during the quarter, while still holding a large treasury, over 357 million FLT alongside stablecoin reserves.

Liquidity operations increased FLT exposure, adding 6 million FLT while reducing USD, implying active buy pressure from the market rather than passive allocation.

The rollup shutdown wasn’t just a product decision, funds were actively pulled out and redistributed.

Over 57 million FLT and user balances were migrated into contracts for claiming, while unused allocations like USDC for free credits were returned.

Even operational ETH used for gas was withdrawn, indicating a full unwind, not partial deprecation.

On staking, Fluence abandoned custom experimentation and switched to audited, battle-tested contracts originally used by Synthetix. 400,000 FLT was allocated for April rewards, targeting around 12% APR based on previous TVL.

Control of the staking system now sits directly with the DAO, making future incentives governance-driven.

Cloudless Labs accounted for the largest expense, charging 1.2 million USD for development and growth, aligning with prior agreements rather than unexpected outflows.

Supply dynamics also shifted significantly. Vesting completed for insiders, pushing a large portion of tokens into unlocked supply. Circulating supply now sits around 27.8%, with a much larger portion unlocked but not yet active. The expectation is simple, more of that supply will move into staking now that everything lives on Ethereum and participation friction is reduced.

The report isn’t just financial tracking, it confirms the earlier narrative, less experimental infrastructure, more standardization, and tighter alignment with where liquidity and usage actually exist.
