What is #FVM? [🧵]

A lot of people are talking about #Fantom Virtual Machine.

Almost everywhere you can see people claiming that “it’s the future” or “it’s gonna change the game”

But many still don’t know how or why.

So let’s understand what we are talking about.

A Thread🧵

In general, there are two types of virtual machines used by blockchains:

Let's give them a brief definition.

🧵/2

1) Stack-based: all the operations are performed using the “stack” data structure and PUSH and POP instructions.

Ethereum uses this type of virtual machine.

🧵/3

2) Register-based: all the operations are performed using the “registers of the cpu” data structure.

There are no PUSH and POP operations.

However, names and addresses must be explicitly stated. Fantom uses this type of virtual machine.

🧵/4

Basically what happens is that EVM needs "POP" and "PUSH" operations that slow interactions down!

This leads to a major Gas cost.

Furthermore EVM is limited to 256 bit word length/byte code which makes it slower.

🧵/5

Even Andre Cronje himself published an article on Fantom Foundation GitHub where he lists all the other inefficiencies in EVM and how to address them.

You can have a look at it down here!

🧵/6

So what will be the major advantages that #FVM will bring to the Chain?

Here is a brief list of them:

🧵/7

🟦 Compatibility with the Solidity programming language:

Meaning, that dapps from Ethereum will still be easily migrated onto Fantom.

🟦 Parallel processing:

To increase throughput and transaction finality.

🟦 Bytecode-compressed:

This will make storing data more efficient.

All those improvements will make transactions and operations👇
- Faster

- Cheaper (while remaining completely secure).

🧵/9

So, while the average user will benefit from a slightly better experience, the scaling efficiency would likely attract massive development and investment (which won’t cause network clog ups).

🧵/10

In this way the network will likely attract new users, devs activity, and institutional investors!

🧵/end

Hope this thread was usefull to give you all a more clear vision of what #FVM really is and what it will bring!
