  • Fantom launched a 370M FTM incentive program to support DeFi protocols and Blockchain gaming/NFT protocols on the Fantom network.

Andre’s and Daniele’s new project launching on Fantom soon

Andre and Daniele are working on a new AMM aimed at protocols, with improved ve tokenomics, named ve(3,3). Tokens will be airdropped to Fantom projects based on TVL.

Highlights:

  • Features different AMM curves for stable swaps and swaps between uncorrelated assets
  • Permissionless support for Gauges & Bribes
  • Lockers will earn 100% of all fees generated, on pools they vote for
  • Lockers won’t get diluted by LP rewards
  • The more tokens get locked, the lower emissions
  • Locked tokens are represented by NFTs

Multichain adds cross-chain swaps for Fantom

You can now swap asset A on chain 1 to asset B on chain 2 using Multichain. For example, swap USDC on BSC to FTM on Fantom. Easier, cheaper!

🥳 this has been over a year in the making, amazing to finally see it on-chain! @MultichainOrg can now support arbitrary swaps from Asset A on chain 1 to Asset B on chain 2. Don't have FTM? Simply swap ETH (ethereum) and receive FTM (fantom)

This is a big change once scaled up https://t.co/kaN3VP9QKi

This brought a lot of new attention to the Fantom ecosystem. FTM took Rank 1 on LunarCrush on January 12. CoinDesk reported about yield farming on Fantom. Ecosystem projects also received interest, with Yahoo publishing a news article about FantomStarter.
