WHAT IS FANTOM?
"The same in blue"
We will see on this page how to use the Fantom Opera blockchain and its DeFi part.
It is important to understand the difference between investing on a centralized exchange platform (CEX), and direct investing on a blockchain.
Presentation of the Fantom token (FTM)
Présentation Fantom Opera
Fantom is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) smart contract blockchain that provides decentralized financial services (DeFi) to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.
With its internal FTM token, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart contract platforms, including the speed of transactions, which the developers say have reduced to less than two seconds.
The Fantom Foundation was founded in 2018 by South Korean computer scientist Dr Ahn Byung Ik, and currently the platform's CEO is Michael Kong. The team behind Fantom has extensive experience in full-stack blockchain development, and aims to create a smart contract platform that prioritizes scalability, decentralization, and security. According to its official website, the Fantom team is also made up of specialist engineers, scientists, researchers, designers and entrepreneurs. The employees are spread all over the world, which corresponds to the ethics of a distributed platform.
Fantom is trying to use a new consensus mechanism created from scratch to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. This mechanism, called “Lachesis”, promises much higher capacity and finalization of transactions in two seconds, as well as security improvements over traditional platforms based on Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithms.
Like Ethereum, the project is aimed at developers looking to deploy global decentralized solutions. According to its official documentation, its mission is to "ensure compatibility between all the trading bodies in the world".
Its native token, the FTM, is a Proof of Stake (PoS) token and forms the backbone of transactions, enabling fee collection and staking activities. Fantom can therefore be qualified as a competitor of ETH, and its objective is clear: to grab market share, in particular in the fields of DeFi and NFT.
The fees are minimal, a transaction costs less than $ 30ct in Gas.
