About FTM

What is Fantom (FTM)?

Fantom is a blockchain with smart contract functionality designed for high throughput and scalability. Its open-source, decentralized platform supports dApps and digital assets which need higher levels of scalability, security and decentralization than Ethereum can offer.

FTM is the native token of the Fantom network, which can be used to interact with dApps. In addition, it also supports staking and governance functions within the Fantom ecosystem.

Fantom is not only a smart contract platform that can run decentralized applications but it also offers users a convenient way for users to send and receive payments. The high throughput and low transaction fees make transactions extremely efficient on the Fantom network.

Due to its unique features, Fantom is an attractive ecosystem for dApps, especially in the DeFi space. As of February 2023, Fantom is the eighth largest blockchain ecosystem by total value locked in DeFi protocols.

What is Fantom Coin Used For?

The Fantom network uses a proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. FTM, its native digital asset, is used for staking by nodes who wish to participate in validating transactions within the blockchain and maintain its security.

The Fantom Coin also doubles up as the governance token within the blockchain ecosystem. Users who stake FTM can propose and vote on upgrades to the network.

In addition, the FTM crypto can also be used for making digital payments and transactions. The Fantom network offers extremely high speeds for transaction processing and charges only about $0.0000001 in gas fees, making it a convenient way to transfer payments digitally.

The FTM token is also used to pay for transactions within the network and for deploying smart contracts. Users also pay in FTM when they wish to create new networks within the ecosystem.

The list above reveals the versatility of the Fantom cryptocurrency, as a result of which it is also among the most popular and liquid digital assets traded in the crypto market.

History of Fantom and FTM

The Fantom Foundation, the firm behind the development of the blockchain, was established in 2018 by Dr. Ahn Byung Ik. Fantom’s mainnet, Opera, went live in December 2019.

Opera was the first layer in the network, an EVM-compatible platform that can support smart contracts. Prior to the main net launch, Fantom also announced an integration with Binance Chain so BEP-2 tokens could operate on its blockchain.

The Fantom Foundation created a brand new consensus algorithm using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) with an aim to achieve asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance (aBFT). Known as the Lachesis protocol, the consensus mechanism makes the Fantom network faster and more scalable.

To further its dominance in the decentralized finance space, the Fantom Foundation tapped Andre Cronje - creator of Yearn Finance, as a technical advisor. Cronje was instrumental in driving interoperability-related initiatives but has since stepped back from his role when he announced his departure from Defi in early 2022.
