Fantom is a layer-1 blockchain for smart contracts and decentralized apps. Instead of using the proof-of-work mining model, it relies on Lachesis, an asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerant consensus design based on a directed acyclic graph of events. The aim is quick finality and high throughput without large fees. The network is EVM-compatible, so tools, wallets and contracts built for Ethereum can usually be adapted to it easily. The project has also been moving toward its newer Sonic network, so check which network and token version a dApp supports.
FTM is the native token. It pays for transactions, is staked by validators and delegators to secure the network, and has played a role in governance. Fees on Fantom have generally been low compared with Ethereum mainnet, though the exact cost varies with network use. Before moving funds, confirm which token version and network a given app expects.
Fantom became known for DeFi, and our directory lists 210 dApps for it. The biggest names in the list are mostly multichain protocols, and only some of them deploy to Fantom itself. Those with Fantom in their chain lists include the liquid staking platform Stader, the infrastructure and staking provider Ankr, the launchpad PinkSale, the perpetuals protocol MUX Perps and the Bitcoin-focused vault project Badger DAO. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Fantom is only about $2.9M, so liquidity is thin and each app deserves a check on whether it is still active.

Fantom FAQs
What is Fantom?
Fantom is a layer-1 smart contract blockchain that runs its own network and is built around the Lachesis consensus mechanism. It was designed for fast confirmation and low fees, and it supports apps written for the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
Is Fantom compatible with Ethereum?
Yes. Fantom is EVM-compatible, so Solidity contracts and Ethereum-style wallets generally work with little change. That is a large part of why many Ethereum-born DeFi projects deployed there.
What is FTM used for?
FTM is the native token. It pays transaction fees, is used for staking to help secure the network, and has been used for governance. Check the current state of the FTM token and network before buying or moving funds, because the project has been through upgrades.
How many dApps are on Fantom, and which are the best known?
Our site lists 210 dApps for Fantom. They include staking services such as Stader and Ankr, the launchpad PinkSale, the perpetuals protocol MUX Perps, and the yield project Badger DAO. Many of these run on several chains, not only Fantom.
How much value is locked in Fantom DeFi today?

Are Fantom dApps safe to use?
No chain is risk-free. Smart contract bugs, thin liquidity, bridge failures and abandoned projects are the main risks. Badger DAO, for example, has retired its vault front-ends, leaving only the contracts reachable on-chain. Use only what you can afford to lose, and confirm that a dApp is live and supported.
