#Fantom Pro-Arguments Below is a Fantom pro-argument written by FrogsDoBeCool. > # Fantom, its Background and Pro's > > Disclaimer: I have not owned or worked with the Fantom network in the past. This piece was made for people to introduce them to Fantom, and all the benefits it has on the surface, and foundationally. > > # Consensus, and the DAG > > * **Proof of Stake** > * Fantom runs the **proof of stake** consensus to keep the network running, compared to **proof of work** (which major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, etc use). "[Proof of stake](https://blockworks.co/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake-whats-the-difference/) systems are significantly more energy-efficient than proof-of-work operations..." It's also significantly easier for a person to make a node on a PoS network than a PoW network, usually, all you need is a laptop, and a certain amount of tokens. All of these are positives for Fantom, but diving deeper, Fantom uses a specific PoS consensus. > * The APY of proof of stake (the tokens you receive from holding your Fantom tokens in a wallet) is anywhere from 4% to 15%. Fantom has a system in place to prevent people from fear selling, this is [called locking](https://fantom.foundation/ftm-staking/#:~:text=Choose%20to%20lock%2Dup%20your,base%20rate%20%E2%80%93%204%25%20APY), you lock your fantom tokens in your wallet to receive more APY benefits. So if you lock up your Fantom for 14 days, you get 4% APY, but if you lock it up for 1 year, you get 15%. > * **Lachesis** > * According to the [Fantom Foundation](https://www.fantom.foundation/lachesis-consensus-algorithm/), "We created Lachesis to overcome the limitations of previous consensus algorithms. It is, in fact, the ideal option for applications that need high-throughput, fast finality, and bank-grade security". > * Blocks do not need to be confirmed for a transaction to finalize, there are systems in place to prevent malicious and false transactions, and there's no 'leader' system where a specific wallet or person confirms blocks or transactions. > * **The DAG** > * Lachesis runs on the DAG, a consensus that differs than the normal "blockchain". In a normal blockchain, block 1 directly goes to block 2, directly goes to block 3, etc. in a DAG, block 1 could connect with multiple blocks, like block 2, 3, 4, etc. A DAG must never circle around, so if block 10 is the latest block, it cannot go back and confirm block 1 again. > * But why the DAG? Fantom uses a DAG to increase the scale and speed of its transactions. Each "block" (a dag isn't a blockchain to say) acts semi-independently of each other to get faster confirms. > * Fantom can reach a [transaction finality](https://fantom.foundation/blog/tps-or-ttf-understanding-blockchain-speed/) of 1 second. So on average a transaction will be finalized in 1 second, this is different than what many other crypto people use to tell how fast a network is, that being TPS (transactions per second). the DAG that Fantom uses allows transactions to be finalized on the network significantly quicker than the block being confirmed. (it's important to note, smart contract transactions are significantly slower than just moving fantom tokens). > > # DEFI > > * **EVM** > * [The EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine](https://www.bitrates.com/guides/ethereum/what-is-the-unstoppable-world-computer#:~:text=The%20EVM%20is%20essential%20to,(i.e.)%20executing%20smart%20contracts), a machine that devs use to create dapps (Decentralized Applications), Fantom is EVM compatible, meaning you can port an ETH dapp onto the Fantom network without having to recreate the entire dapp from scratch. > * Incentives to build > * Most devs work on the ETH blockchain due to its popularity, but many also work for Fantom, why? for one, the EVM helps them port their dapps easily, and for another, money. [Over 370 million Fantom](https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/21/08/g22721821/fantom-announces-massive-incentive-program-to-reward-defi-developers) has been directed to help devs produce dapps > > # Governance > > * [Fantom has a unique governance system](https://fantom.foundation/blog/on-chain-governance-released/), for one, anyone can propose something for 100 Fantom. And voting costs about $0.00001 in transaction fees. > * Then for voting, a wallet holder can vote 0-4 instead of yes and no. 0 is total disagreement, 4 is complete agreement. Each proposal can have multiple options too to represent all points of view. > * All proposals are in templates for how much they change the network. > * A template 1 vote is a non-important vote, agreement levels must be 55% or more. > * A template 2 vote is also non-important but requires a bit more agreement, 60%. > * A template 3 vote will directly change the network, may be for updates, or changing the rewards rate for delegators. 90% of delegators must vote, and a 90% of them must agree > * A template 4 vote can deconstruct a solidity contract, basically used for changing penalties for if something happened. 90% of delegators must vote, but only 55% must agree. ***** Would you like to learn more?

Mentions:#ETH

I agree with you, it shouldn't be that way. It is more in the thinking around ETH - It has more uses, more utility, more surrounding opportunities, more gas sinks and is therefore 'spent' more. There is also staking yields which let users hold their ETH, while still generating ETH to spend, and encourages users to try to compete with the native staking yield by investing their ETH. Bitcoin has really captured the store of value narrative, whereas crypto people often deploy their ETH into projects or swap it into other things and back. I believe the end result is that ETH is a lower risk, lower return BTC, but with a world of possibilities to generate additional yield with your ETH. I prefer ETH over BTC at this stage.

Mentions:#ETH#BTC

Honestly Solana is one of my biggest bags, not because I’m a believer, although it’s phenomenal that they’re expanding their network into hardware and it just totally makes sense to have a crypto first device, but because I bought a bunch at 20ish bucks and it flew. Solana and Origin Trail have been carrying my portfolio so far. I’m up like 400% because of just those two alone. I’m sure a few will do well in the long run, but ETH has such a big network effect it’ll be hard for anything to really compete. After this cycle I just don’t wanna think that much about crypto so once I DCA I’m just holding btc and eth (maybe trac - coz it’s a sick project) and will consider that my retirement plan

1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin. Each bitcoin is equal and is an amalgamation of all energy ever input into the system. Just because it took less energy 10 years ago to mine bitcoin doesn't mean that still needs to hold true. In 1848, it was much easier to mine gold in California than it is today, yet every ounce of gold is equally valuable (not taking numismatics into the equation). On top of that, that isn't even bitcoins fault or under it's control. That is market participation, incentives and competition at work within human beings. Bitcoin only needs one node and one miner to technically function (though obviously there are a lot of downfalls with this); anything beyond that is out of scope for bitcoin's code to run. To your point about 'tokenization'. Honestly, I'm a bitcoiner and never heard it termed that way and I agree, I'm not a fan of it either as I eluded to, but I do get where the other person was going with it at least. Regarding the DAO hack, the mere fact that it's possible for VB, JL and all the other ETH premine insiders to roll back the chain and sensor transactions is totally fair game to relate back to. People still bring up 51% attacks for Bitcoin and the sheer cooporation behind that is nearly (but not 0) impossible. Since ETH moving to POS it's made it much easier to accomplish these acts too. Sure, risks apply to both, but definitely not equally. Their decentralization are orders of magnitude different. I think I get what you mean, and I respectfully think it's either misguided, not looking at both equally or plain old wrong. Or maybe I'm still not getting it. Either way, I agree to disagree, I guess. Good luck, friend.

Honestly, I think it maps out like this: Bitcoin = 1.5x ETH = 2x XRP, XLM, ADA, SOL (other majors that have been around) = 3-5x Newer Alts and Meme Coins = 5-10x Some random new coin = 20x DOGE = never over estimate or under estimate Dogecoin

The problem with cryptocurrency is that the most fundamental property of the system HAS to be security. If it‘s not security then there is no reason for anyone to use it because you can‘t trust what is happening. If you have a wallet on your computer which says „losttraveler36 owns 3 ETH and some NFT“ while you can‘t be sure that it‘ll still be the same tomorrow and in 10 years then it‘s useless. It doesn‘t matter that you can run smart contracts and layer 2s and everything else. It‘s useless without security. Security being the assurance that everything you see on your screen is actually what‘s happening and no one can change it. Now, I‘m not saying bitcoin is 100% secure. Nothing is 100% secure. I do think it‘s more secure than anything else by a lot. That‘s why it‘s more valuable in my opinion. Has nothing to do with „the tech“.

Mentions:#ETH

The worst that would happen is the original sale could be considered a security transaction because it is an investment agreement, but the ETH asset itself is not an investment agreement so it will be deemed a commodity not a security. This is exactly what happened with the SEC vs. Ripple Labs case.

BTC and ETH are generally safe bets. It’s like telling people they should only invest in VTI. However, there’s still a lot of money to be made in other cryptos, just like you can make a lot of money picking individual stocks (like Nvidia). It’s just riskier. Not bad. Just riskier.

Mentions:#BTC#ETH

Ok. 5-10x. No mention of timeframe or assets. So here are a few thoughts. 1.) inflation in the U.S. is uncontrolled, and the fed has even come out and said 2% is no longer a target. I don’t know what that means, but 10% inflation of the dollar will result in acceleration of all assets. If the DJIA grows at 8%, 10% inflation could make the DJIA grow at 16%. 2.) crypto is still an emerging market. Boomers still don’t get it, but they have 2/3 of all institutional held wealth. As the ETFs reallocate their funds from fiat assets to other assets, there will be a hundred trillion dollar inflow of capital into those markets that will expand them faster than the baseline. As such, be prepared for significant growth into both BTC and ETH the next 18 months. 3.) the bull run has *just started*. We’re likely not going to see much softening until ~October 2025? That’s another 18 months of growth. 4.) BTC and ETH are often the first movers, and as they grow, the capital tends to flow out of those coins to small cap / alt coins. Which means there will be a huge inflow of small cap coins in the next few months. 5.) the halving is happening in April. This will increase the baseline fair price to about ~70k a coin. Additionally coins held by exchanges has dropped to a new low… We’re about to hit a supply shock. 6.) ETFs demand is outpacing newly minuted by a factor of 11 : 1. So far they’ve been relying on Grayscale outflows, miners they own, and private deals to finance this appetite. But. Demand continues. We are about to hit a supply shock. 7.) FOMO has not yet hit. 8.) speculators have yet to hit. 9.) the bulk of coins out there are both in the positive *and* hasn’t moved in over a year. People are HODLing. Long story short: I don’t know what to expect out of this bull run. This could be the last bull run ever. Or it could fizzle out. But. We’re likely going to see $80k pushed before the halving. And I suspect there’s a chance we’ll push $90k too. And that’s when the FOMO hits.

I purchased USDT on my exchange. Then I have to pick a network to send it over. I selected Ethereum, thinking I am sending USDT ERC-20. The funds appear in my wallet, but they are listed as ETH. Now, I am trying to make a $100 transaction on Uniswap and my gas fees are $60. What is a better way of doing this?

I didn't think I'd have to explain. The amount of kW used creating a bitcoin is variable based on mining difficulty and miner efficiency. For the tokenised energy narrative to hold true, each bitcoin would need to represent a static amount of energy that never changes. When I say spent, I mean that usually when people say "tokenised", they're referring to a token on a chain representing a physical asset that still exists in the real world. In this case the energy is not redeemable after minting. For these 2 reasons I just think the term is silly. On the DAO hack point, I just wish people would stop harping on about a single event which happened when Ethereum was almost unrecognisable compared to the ecosystem and product it is today. I'm not an ETH maxi, I just find this comment to be really low effort FUD the longer we go without a 'DAO hack 2'. If ETH was getting hard forked to change balances all the time, I'd obviously be much more sympathetic to this talking point, but in 2024 this risk basically applies equally to ETH and BTC i.e. negligibly. Hope that explains what I mean.

You are missing a lot of social nuances. What defines a currency is more than just tech. It is not tripe to say, the community’s behavior does a lot in building a currency’s value. The recent comparison between Bitcoin and ETH isn’t really a push by BTC maxis. It is a push by the ETH maxis. Here is why. 1) ETH market cap is the second largest market cap. Going after alt L1’s liquidity won’t move the needle much. So they think they need to compete for BTC UHNW and institutional liquidity. Consequently, a lot of ETH VCs and loud traders have been constantly shitting on BTC in the bear to make ETH more appealing. 2) Ever since ETH L2 scaling road map became more publicly known, you start to see a lot of marketing push for ETH to be SoV crypto for the general crypto. The idea is, push ETH demand from gas token to a money token, used by other chains. Of course, it inevitably, it but heads with BTC. It is why, you hear an increased volume from ETH VCs and traders calling for the end of BTC and replaced by ETH. No, you are wrong. ETH comparison against BTC is self-inflected by the ETH community. Much of crypto is too volatile to use as regular currency. It is deeply encoded by demand of 99% participants see it as vehicle to print more fiat from trading and the finite supply of them all. USDC/DAI are probably the closest forms of actually usable crypto currency. Plus, 90%+ of crypto app devs are useless bozos who don’t know anything besides making more Ponzis or forking blue chips, like Aave/Uniswap etc. Consequently, there aren’t much real product/services for ppl to use crypto beside keeping them as price appreciating gambling chips. Censorship resistance and permissionless are great crypto properties. But let us be honest. Unless you are from unfortunate countries like Iran, the chances you are pretty fucked up if you get censored by the USA. Most ppl don’t need to worry about this. Even if you talk about ppl trying to circumvent totalitarian states like Russia and China, I doubt the demand would justify the current crypto valuations. In turn, it bring to the point, what do you mean by “crypto money”? For non-degens and short-term fiat printers, 1) they are looking for it to reliably appreciate over time, and 2) liquid enough to be used as collateral eventually. BTC does really well in these arenas. When ppl first time learn about market caps, they realize there is more upside from buying stuff outside BTC. It is true but it is both a blessing and a curse. Why? You aren’t the only one thinking that way. Most who wants to get rich quick and GTFO from crypto have the exact same thoughts. It means, you are bound to have a very mercenary community and make value appreciation very hard. A good recent example is Solana. Back in last year, ppl hated SOL so much. If you look at CT, all the big following account shit talked SOL and how ETH L2 scaling road map is the next coming of Christ. All of a sudden, when ETH starts lagging and SOL hits above 170+, the same characters rapidly change their . ETH to . SOL and launch their own scams, like BOME.

Lol, the sage who knows exactly what crypto is all about. It's almost as if crypto is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon with lots of potential across many different economic, financial, social and other arenas. But you are the true keeper of the flame who knows the one true secret of what crypto is. (PS I'm happy af with my 7x gains thus far on ETH and BTC since 2017).

You're making the mistake of thinking that any of the technology matters. Until something is adopted widely by the general public and is actually USEFUL, use cases will not matter. No one actually gives a shit about proof of work or store of value or whether any of these coins can be considered a "currency". It's all bullshit. The only part that's actually driving any of this is the idea that Blockchain is useful and that one day we will discover that use case. Until then, stack Bitcoin and Eth. You're clearly new to the game. You'll get rekt on Alts and eventually understand why the BTC/ETH maxis exist, but almost everyone chooses to do it the hard way.

ETH is not as good as store of value as Bitcoin and also the fees are too steep for it to be used as an actual currency.

This isn’t accurate. In fact, a number of large TradFi operators are developing blockchain solutions specifically because they are more efficient, can be more interoperable, increase the speed of many existing TradFi processes, and they’re cheaper and less error-prone.

Additionally, there are numerous other applications where blockchain has many advantages. Look into TRAC, for example.

A public blockchain uses internet-connected computers to validate transactions and achieve consensus. Bitcoin is probably the most well known example of a public blockchain, and it achieves consensus through "bitcoin mining."

It is hard to predict what everyone will do in that scenario. I would be most interested if there is a rejection to better understand what logic the SEC puts forward for that rejection. The basis of the rejection (ie. what reasons they put forward to justify it) will decide a lot of what the next steps are for issuers. We have never seen any logic from the SEC around ETH before since this is the first round of applications.

Why would ETH be a security? You have to do work to earn staking rewards, by validating blocks. You're not profiting from the work of others.

Mentions:#ETH

Staking is not going to designate ETH as a security. It might land some exchanges in trouble though for offering staking services which is a whole other topic. When you actually understand how staking works it looks nothing like an equity dividend model for instance. Staking is just private users using their ETH and the network to barter for service. Its like if I lent my gold out and charged a fee. And there is no central governing body giving out a return. If you hold ETH you dont even get a staking reward as standard, you need to provide a service and engage with the network. So I find it highly unlikely.

Maxeb, that is being able to run a validator with more ETH than 32, for example 3200 (max I think) or 32.1 ETH is coming in the next upgrade.

Staking is just users using their private ETH holdings to generate a return on the network by providing a service.

32 ETH was decided upon long ago when prices were much lower than they are now. Anyone following Ethereum's roadmap then, and wanting to stake, had plenty of time to accumulate what was needed. What you're basically complaining about is that ETH has risen in value. Be glad it's only 32. Originally I think ~1200 ETH was going to be necessary.
