About FTM
Fantom brings a fresh perspective to blockchain technology through its unique network design. It moves away from traditional block-by-block processing seen in most chains. Instead, it uses a graph-based system that enables multiple transaction paths at once. Its custom-built Lachesis protocol ensures both speed and security. Most transactions complete within two seconds at a fraction of standard blockchain costs.
The network operates across three distinct levels, each serving a vital purpose. The base level handles transaction verification. The middle layer manages system operations. The top layer connects with applications and developers. Fantom's smart design welcomes both new projects and existing ones from other networks, especially Ethereum-based platforms. This flexibility has drawn significant attention from finance projects and city planning initiatives. Early success in these areas hints at Fantom's potential to reshape how we think about blockchain efficiency and real-world use.
