Description
We are building a highly scalable blockchain ecosystem.
At Fantom, we’re committed to providing technology that combines scalability, decentralization, and security.
To turn this vision into reality, the Fantom Foundation is developing different parts of an open system and closely works with partners to support the adoption of Fantom technology.
We are blockchain developers
The Fantom Foundation has experience with blockchain development across the whole technology stack. From developing a consensus algorithm from scratch to middleware and a full-featured software suite, we built it.
We are blockchain integrators
Through the EVM, developers can utilize smart contracts on top of Fantom, and it allows projects to port their existing Ethereum dApps over to Fantom easily.
Addtionally, Lachesis is ABCI compatible and can be seamlessly integrated into other blockchains as a separate consensus module.
