DEVELOPER DOCUMENTATION

Learn how to build fast, scalable, and secure dApps on Fantom. Fantom is EVM
compatible.

WHAT IS FANTOM?

Fantom is a fast, scalable, and secure smart contract platform built on an aBFT
consensus protocol.

Fantom is:

   

 * Permissionless

   
   

 * Decentralized

   
   

 * Open source

   

Lachesis, its revolutionary aBFT consensus mechanism, allows Fantom to be faster
and cheaper than previous technologies while retaining security.

KEY FEATURES

SPEED

Fantom achieves transaction finality in 1–2 seconds on average.

SCALABILITY

Fantom can process thousands of transactions per second and can scale to
hundreds of nodes.

SECURITY

Lachesis provides institutional-grade security to the distributed network.
Fantom offers absolute finality, which means that transactions can never be
reverted like in networks with probabilistic finality.

Fantom is also leaderless. By removing leaders, security does not rely on a
small set of actors in charge of block production.

SMART CONTRACT SUPPORT

Fantom is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Developers can
create and deploy smart contracts as they would on Ethereum.
