“The Flux-Lumen relationship showcases the opportunity for collaboration between Web3 and Web2, which is accomplished by utilizing a balanced hybrid solution. This opens the door for institutions to enter the decentralized ecosystem with the robust support they have come to expect in the Web2 space. The movement from Web2 to Web3 is the next step in the evolution of the internet, similar to the Web1 to Web2 movement, which ushers in an opportunity for application deployment on robust decentralized infrastructures.”
