Fantom’s appealing eco-friendly feature
Alpha Tauri added that Fantom’s focus on reducing energy consumption in the blockchain ecosystem was a significant catalyst for the partnership. Fantom deploys a Proof-of-Stake system that doesn’t require massive amounts of energy to work, unlike competitors. According to Harry Yeh, the Managing Director for Quantum Fintech Group and investor in Fantom, the exposure will benefit the crypto platform. Fantom’s real-world use cases are in sectors like pharmaceuticals and education. Following the ecosystem upgrade, the market capitalization of the FTM token has increased by 50 fold in 2021, recording at least 100,000 users daily. Fantom is a pioneer smart contract platform enabling fast and affordable transactions in the crypto space. Following the system’s software upgrade to Go-Opera, Fantom has witnessed rapid growth, improving the time-to-finality to about a second.
