$FTM
1. FTM uses DAG. It is technically not a blockchain.
2. Blockchain i.e. A→B→C→D.
3. In a DAG, it is shortened to A→D - speeding up the process.
(1/x)
4. As DAGs can reference multiple transactions simultaneously, they are scalable and cheap.
5. It uses PoS which is energy efficient.
6. Assume 700,000 txn/day, it consumes lower power than a single US home annually.
(2/x)
7. FTM uses Asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance (ABFT) consensus algorithms, which allow for honest nodes of a network to guarantee to agree on the timing & order of a set of transactions fairly & securely.
1. He thinks the current algorithm for UST stablecoin doesn't work because it is not backed by anything but faith, so it could go negative cycle when people lose faith.
(1/x)
2. He wants fUSD to have an over-collateralized model tied to the value of FTM.
3. He learned that Foundation should focus on tech, and Dapps protocols/fUSD should pass to community devs to handle.
(2/x)
4. He thinks FTM is unique amongs L1 because the transaction is processed asynchronously. It's like a Multicore processor vs. a single-core processor nowadays.
5. The algorithm makes the Fantom chain never goes offline.
