Fantom General Update | March 22 2021

Announcements

Updating you on everything Fantom has been up to in the last two weeks.

Fantom presenting to the Digital Currency Global Initiative’s CBDC group

On March 11, the Fantom Foundation showcased the potential of Fantom’s blockchain for CBDC to the Digital Currency Global Initiative’s ITU members, including global Central Bankers, top universities, large corporates, research institutions, and international financial agencies.

The ITU membership comprises 193 member states, more than 700 private sector companies, and 160 academic institutions.

👉 Get more details in our announcement 

Decentralizing Fantom – validator proposal is up

To support further decentralization of the Fantom network, FTM holders can now vote on a proposal to reduce validator node requirements. 

🗳️ Go to your Fantom wallet and vote to get your voice heard.

We put up a new on-chain governance proposal to lower the validator node requirements.

You can vote to lower the minimum self-stake of a node from the current 3.175m to:

– 500k FTM
– 750k FTM
– 1m FTM
– 2m FTM

Happy voting!https://t.co/CiAIeaJ0ax pic.twitter.com/foghdNuNxV
