The Fantom Ecosystem

Education

Fantom has rapidly grown since its mainnet launch in December 2019. Fantom is a fast, scalable, and secure Layer-1 platform compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. 

Let’s look at the development and how the network ecosystem looks so far. 

Quick links

Blockchain as a Service for government and institutions

Fantom Network Developments

On-chain governance 

In January 2021, we implemented on-chain governance in Fantom’s fWallet.

Fantom is the first layer-1 network to enable all users to make and vote on improvement proposals in a fully decentralized manner. 

Lowered validator nodes requirements

In June 2021, the community voted to reduce the required FTM to run a validator node to 1,000,00 FTM. 

The requirements to become a validator are less stringent, and we expect to push the network decentralization significantly.

Major Go-Opera network upgrade

In April 2021, we rolled out the Go-Opera upgrade. The major network upgrade reduced Time-to-Finality to one second on average and accelerated P2P synchronization, among several other technical improvements.

Rapid network growth 

  • 10,576 smart contracts deployed on the network.
  • 300,000 transactions per day, soaring from around 3,000 on January 1, 2021.
  • 145,000+ unique addresses, versus 5,000 on January 1, 2021.
  • 62% of the total circulating supply of FTM is staked.

Grant program

We awarded grants to nine innovative and successful projects deployed on Fantom.

The Fantom Operational Model

The Fantom Foundation operates two main divisions. These divisions are responsible for building the tools to support decentralized applications (dAPPs) and kickstarting the adoption and usage of the Fantom blockchain-based technology globally. 

  • Fantom Opera mainnet: The Fantom public network is open to anyone. Thanks to the high throughput, almost instant and near-zero cost transactions, DeFi has been a significant area of development on the network through strategic partnerships and independent projects building on the network.
  • Fantom-Blockchain as a Service: Fantom is an Ethereum-compatible, layer-1 blockchain that can be used by any corporate or government entity wishing to access the benefits of blockchain for their operations. 

dApps, Services, and DeFi on Fantom

40+ projects have deployed their dApps to Fantom. These include innovative application providers and protocols that support Fantom’s pioneering work in DeFi.
