Web3 isn’t just tokens anymore, it’s turning into a full stack of open infrastructure.Each protocol is taking on one layer of the internet.Here’s how four key players $FLT, $TAO, $RNDR, $FIL , are quietly redefining how the web thinks, stores, and computes.
$FLT (Fluence) The Cloudless Compute Layer
Think of Fluence as the AWS of Web3 without the Amazon.
It runs compute workloads (AI, dApps, analytics) across decentralized providers, at predictable costs, with zero intermediaries.
$FLT powers staking for providers, a stablecoin for predictable billing, and tokenized capacity,making compute both verifiable and accessible.Fluence is where AI and DePIN actually run.
2. $TAO (Bittensor) The Decentralized Brain
If Fluence is the compute engine, TAO is the intelligence running on top.
It creates a marketplace for AI models , where the best outputs earn rewards and the network learns collectively.
Together with Fluence, its mind meets machine, TAO supplies the logic, Fluence supplies the power.
3. $RNDR (Render) The GPU Economy
$RNDR was the first to prove that GPU power can be decentralized.
It connects artists and 3D creators with idle GPU nodes.
Fluence extends that model , from rendering to AI inference, data processing, and backend compute, scaling GPU accessibility beyond visuals into all compute-heavy workloads.
4. $FIL (Filecoin) The Data Backbone
$FIL is where decentralized data lives.
But stored data needs compute to become useful and that’s where Fluence completes the circuit.
Together, $FIL + $FLT form the decentralized “storage + compute” combo the open web needs.
The Bigger Picture
If Web2 had AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure,
Web3’s foundation looks like this:
$TAO → Intelligence
$RNDR → GPU Power
$FIL → Storage
$FLT → Compute + Coordination
One provides thought, one provides memory, one provides muscle , and Fluence brings them together into a self-running, decentralized internet stack.
