Fantom General Update | May 23 2022

Update

Get up-to-date with everything that happened in the Fantom ecosystem in the last two weeks 👇

Snapsync is live

The next major upgrade of the Fantom network has been rolled out!

Snapsync allows new nodes to join the network faster. On testnet, the syncing time could be reduced from 24 hours to 7 hours.

Benefits

  • Better network reliability
  • Improved  scalability
  • Decentralization

👉 For more details, check out our article 

The road ahead for fUSD and sFTM

fUSD is Fantom’s native, over-collateralized stablecoin which in the past could be minted only against staked FTM (sFTM). The Foundation is proposing changes regarding new collateral assets, loan-to-value ratios, liquidations, and how to repay the outstanding debt. The goal is to make fUSD a thriving, Fantom-native stablecoin that allows Fantom stakers and token holders of Fantom projects (e.g. BOO, SPIRIT, BEETS, LQDR) to borrow stables in a capital efficient and safe manner.

The team is currently waiting for the audit results and is putting on the finishing touches before deployment.
