Our History
2018
The Beginning as ZelCash
Flux, initially known as ZelCash, was launched on January 31, 2018, as a decentralized blockchain project. On May 31, ZelCore, originally named ZelTreZ, debuted as a multi-asset wallet to streamline cryptocurrency management. The project solidified its vision with the publication of its Whitepaper 2.0 on July 15, while ZelNode economics were established by July 31, offering financial incentives for network participation. Accessibility improved further on September 21 with the launch of ZelCore Mobile for iOS and Android platforms.
2020
Growth and Early Testing
In 2020, Flux experienced substantial growth. By the third quarter, the network had over 900 active FluxNodes, indicating strong community engagement. In the fourth quarter, testing began for FluxApps, which marked a significant step toward offering decentralized cloud application hosting.
2021
Rebranding to Flux
On March 27, 2021, Zel was rebranded to Flux, accompanied by the launch of FluxOS 1.0, a decentralized operating system designed to power Flux’s cloud infrastructure. By the second quarter, the network expanded to over 1,100 FluxNodes, and a new whitepaper outlined its decentralized cloud strategy. By Q3, the Fusion app was integrated into ZelCore, streamlining multi-asset operations, while the number of active nodes grew to over 1,400. The fourth quarter introduced initiatives like Flux DeFi, XDAO, and the “20 in 20” program for deploying decentralized applications.
2022
Expanding Capabilities
Early 2022 saw Flux introducing FLUX-TRX and FLUX-SOL parallel assets, enhancing its interoperability with TRON and Solana ecosystems. Integration of IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) allowed decentralized storage, further diversifying Flux’s functionalities.
2023
Advanced Development and Community Growth
In the second quarter of 2023, Fractus Cumulus Storage Node rewards were introduced, and Flux Cloud 3.2 improved the network’s cloud services. The third quarter featured community-driven activities, including a hackathon and the distribution of the ninth parallel asset (PA9). The year ended with significant milestones, including the launch of FluxDrive Pro for advanced storage, FluxCore Alpha for improved functionality, and the Cypherpunk 2023 event, which celebrated privacy and decentralization.
2024
Present
In 2024, Flux introduced the SSP Wallet with advanced security and account abstraction, enhancing decentralized asset management. By March, FluxEdge Alpha launched, offering a decentralized computational marketplace, followed by its Beta release mid-year, which expanded infrastructure capabilities. In August, FluxAI Beta integrated AI tools into Flux’s ecosystem, demonstrating its commitment to blending blockchain with advanced technologies to power Web3 solutions.
2025
Future Plans
Flux is gearing up for an exciting 2025! Kicking off in Q1, Zelcore will launch a browser extension, SSP fiat onboarding will simplify transactions, and the FluxAI API will go public. FluxEdge will enter Beta with premium machines, a billing system, and more, while Project Arcane introduces advanced encryption to FluxOS. By Q2, the Application Specification V8 will enhance developer tools, and the Cypherpunk Conference will unite partners and supporters.
