In this episode, Stephy and Dino from Fluent join Santi to discuss blended execution environments. They explain how Fluent's approach enables native composability between apps built on different virtual machines like EVM, WASM and SVM, all in a shared state environment. They also explore the benefits this brings for developers and end users, the challenges involved in implementation, and how blended execution could reshape crypto. Enjoy!
