ENEDEX multichain is coming very soon. Multiple blockchain has been prepared for seamless swapping experience across cryptoverse. But before the release of ENEDEX multichain, let’s learn more about the blockchains that potentially will be in ENEDEX multichain. This time, let’s deepdive on the Ethereum’s fastest contender, the Fantom blockchain.
What is Fantom?
Fantom is basically a layer 1 smart contract development platform with high performance, EVM compatibility and better scalability. The answer to ‘what is Fantom’ would also draw attention towards Fantom Opera, the mainnet deployment of Fantom. Another important component in the design of Fantom refers to the consensus mechanism, Lachesis. With these components, Fantom can serve as an asynchronous, byzantine fault-tolerant and asynchronous layer 1 blockchain protocol. Lachesis plays a crucial role in ensuring faster transaction speeds, deterministic finality and reduced transaction costs. Interestingly, Fantom also remains open-source, permissionless and decentralized.
The design of Fantom FTM has been optimized for resolving the problems of decentralizing many services at scale. For example, legacy financial systems including consumer-facing solutions and back-end tools need faster finality and higher throughput. At the same time, they cannot compromise in terms of security while going through a blockchain transformation journey. Fantom can leverage Lachesis for ensuring seamless execution of digital asset transactions at unprecedented speeds alongside providing significant improvements. Above everything else, Fantom does not compromise with decentralization and security for ensuring scalability.
About Fantom Features
The unique aspect of Fantom is its rich ecosystem of modular tools, all of which can be snapped together to share information and speed development. Every element of the Fantom platform has been designed with decentralization and interoperability in mind.
Fantom is also committed to openness. For example, the platform’s source code is available via open-source licensing at Github. Anyone can create building blocks using Fantom code and APIs.
In operation, Fantom supports open participation. Anyone can run a node on the Opera blockchain. That requires a 3.175 million FTM stake, but that doesn’t limit your participation. Just delegate one FTM or more to a validator node and you can start earning rewards.
Fantom has an ERC-20 token, but it can’t be used directly on the Opera blockchain. ERC-20 tokens that arrive in your Fantom wallet are automatically converted to Opera FTM. Fantom’s ERC-20 tokens are used on the Ethereum network. Fantom also supports BEP-2 tokens that run on the Binance blockchain.
About $FTM Token
FTM, Fantom’s native token, is used for multiple purposes in its network, which include paying for transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and as a medium of governance.
While validators need to stake a minimum of 500,000 to help secure the network, FTM can also be delegated to network validators to make the process of receiving rewards more affordable. Rewards vary based on how long a user locks up their tokens and how much they delegate.
Additionally, one unique aspect of governance is that FTM holders who apply their tokens to voting can scale their vote on a five-point scale based on how much they agree or disagree with a governance proposal. Therefore, a user can vote “4” on a proposal they strongly feel would improve the system whereas another user might vote “2” if they feel lukewarm about its implementation. This granularity of opinion is then taken into consideration in the final community tally.
About Ecosystem
As the fastest contender of Ethereum, no wonder Fantom attracted plenty of developers to build project on top of it. Here is a brief list of familiar tokens and their contract addresses that has Fantom version or are uniquely built only in Fantom :

Summary
Being more secure and environmentally friendly than traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, Fantom uses the PoS consensus method and Lachesis (Fantom’s aBFT consensus algorithm) to set the nodes’ communication rules. With thousands of daily users, Fantom has become one of the oldest Ethereum contender which attract developers and project to built upon it. The track record of the blockchain is proven to be worthy of traders and hodlers to trade on DEX such as ENEDEX
