Layer 1 blockchain Fantom’s native token FTM has actually acquired over 190% in 4 weeks, ending up being the best-performing non-meme cryptocurrency amongst the leading 100 digital properties by market price.
FTM’s cost has actually risen from 40 cents to $1.16, reaching the greatest considering that April 2022, according to information tracked by CoinGecko. The token’s market capitalization has actually leapt to $3.29 billion, making it the 44th biggest digital property worldwide.

The closed testnet with simulated traffic has actually shown an optimum theoretical throughput of 2,000 deals per 2nd (TPS) with a time to finality of 1.1 seconds. Since composing, the Opera mainnet had a throughput of simply 3.2 deals per second.
While TPS determines the variety of deals the blockchain can process per 2nd, time to finality shows the time it considers a deal to end up being permanent after it is verified and contributed to the blockchain.
Another crucial function of the upgrade is the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), which is set to improve the wise agreement execution speed significantly. The FVM equates the Ethereum Virtual Machine’s (EVM) code into its format, permitting designers to shift efficiently.
