Instadapp Fluid is going multichain.
A new proposal to deploy on Arbitrum is now available on the governance forum. Arbitrum deployment and 400k $ARB incentives.

Instadapp’s Fluid protocol is moving ahead with a multichain expansion plan that includes a proposed deployment on Arbitrum accompanied by a request for 400,000 ARB in ecosystem incentives. According to a governance post and Fluid’s own communications on X, the team has outlined how an Arbitrum deployment would plug Fluid’s unified lending–DEX liquidity layer into the Arbitrum DeFi ecosystem, with the ARB incentives intended to bootstrap usage and liquidity on the new instance. Fluid, launched in early 2024 by the Instadapp team, combines lending, borrowing and trading in a single shared liquidity layer so that deposited assets can simultaneously earn lending interest and DEX trading fees, aiming to maximize capital efficiency for both borrowers and liquidity providers. The Arbitrum deployment proposal fits into Fluid’s broader strategy of becoming a multi-chain liquidity layer; the protocol is already architected for operation across multiple networks, and public documentation explicitly lists Ethereum and Arbitrum as target chains for its decentralized liquidity layer. Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum Layer 2 with high DeFi activity, is positioned as Fluid’s first major expansion beyond Ethereum because of its focus on “real usage” and existing liquidity, according to an article on the Arbitrum blog that profiles Fluid’s model and its decision to expand there. If approved, the 400k ARB incentives would likely be used to reward early lenders, borrowers and traders on Arbitrum, aiming to accelerate TVL growth and integration with other Arbitrum-native DeFi protocols, and potentially strengthen Arbitrum’s position as a hub for capital-efficient lending and trading.
