What Is Fantom and How Can I Use It?
Fantom is a high-performance blockchain developed by Korean computer scientist Ahn Byung Ik based on directed acyclic graph (DAG) technology. Different from blockchains, directed acyclic graph (short: DAG) is a network of individual transactions linked to multiple other transactions creating a tree structure instead of blocks. Fantom uses Lachesis, a revolutionary aBFT consensus mechanism to achieve scalability and increase the transaction settlement speed.
Can I Use DeFi on Fantom’s Opera Network?
Funnily named the ‘Fantom Opera Network’ (do you get the wordplay? 😁) is Fantom’s mainnet, that is 100% compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which allows developers to deploy their Ethereum smart contracts and allows you to use Fantom in a wallet like imToken.
This is why you have popular DeFi (decentralized finance) DApps on Fantom such as: SpookySwap, AnySwap, SushiSwap, Cream, Curve, Tomb, Geist, Beefy, Abracadabra, SpiritSwap, Hector DAO, Yearn, Reaper and more.
Compared with Ethereum mainnet, Fantom has lower gas fees and faster transaction settlement.
