Vision💡: World’s first DAG based smart contract platform
Summary:
Fantom is the world’s first DAG based Smart Contract platform that solves the issue of scalability and confirmation time of the existing blockchain technology. FANTOM uses OPERA Chain (processes a list of events asynchronously with no rights to modify previously confirmed transactions), Lachesis Protocol (transactions are confirmed with a DAG) and Story Data (transaction and smart contract function may store a piece of data for tracking and supply-chain management). It has the following features:
- Instant Payment/Settlements – Asynchronously with instant confirmation
- Near Zero Cost – Less than 0.01$ USD
- Infinite Scalability – Capability increases as more nodes participate
- Open-sourced – Transparent
- 300,000 TPS
“Beyond Blockchain – Fantom is the future of decentralized ecosystem”

Competitors
The hycon project, as well as Constellation Labs, have a similar architecture with DAG consensus
Verdict – 86%🔥
With middleware beta scheduled to launch in late June, this is going to be one of the most exciting projects to watch out for. Its goal is to do for DAG what Ethereum has done for blockchain. Considering the hype this project has generated in such a short time as well as Torque backing them, we are very BULLISH on this project.
