You must have heard of the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM) one way or the other, but you may not know what it really is about and how important it may be.
In this thread, you will get to understand everything about FVM.
Walk with me.
A thread 🧵
The aim of Decentralized Finance is to bring decentralization, scalability and security to our finance system.
Blockchain systems have often traded one for another, but #Fantom says its goal is to achieve all three at the same time.
Fantom is a Layer 1 solution built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
It is known for its high speed of processing transactions (scalability), and Fantom has always tried not to sacrifice Decentralization and Security for Scalability.
According to @FantomFDN, The Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM) is the upgrade that will replace the EVM and increase the speed of execution on Fantom.
The fact that the current $Fantom release uses the Ethereum technology, including virtual machine and storage make it difficult to achieve the kind of scalability they want to achieve.
This is why a testing framework called AIda was carried out to figure out how to solve this.
The Fantom virtual machine will replace the EVM and bring about faster transaction execution speed on Fantom, and in my opinion, it is really going to be a game changer for #Fantom and the blockchain industry.
The @FantomFDN also mentioned that developers shouldn't worry about the upcoming upgrade as FVM will be fully solidity and Vyper compatible, so they can still use their normal development tools.
An experiment was carried out to test the speed and storage usage of the new FVM, in this experiment, significant changes were seen in the speed of transactions processed per second, averaging up to 4500.
This 8.1x faster and the blocks also used 98% less storage.
This transaction speed could mean processing approximately 400 million transactions per day, and four times the daily amount of transactions processed by VISA in the US daily.
Conclusion:
The Fantom virtual machine will be something significant and will bring about more adoption of blockchain generally.
The fact that it will bring about more scalability, decentralization and security also is awesome.

@CakeDaoSwap Presale 1.0 will be commencing in a few hours from now, here is all you need to know about the presale and some new developments happening with the project.
I wrote a thread before now introducing @CakeDaoSwap, you can check it out if you haven't.
It is no longer new to anyone in the crypto space that Ethereum has scalability issues, which is why Layer 2 Solutions like Rollups have been introduced.
In this thread, we will get to know which scaling solution is better: Optimistic Rollups or Zero-Knowledge Rollups.

🔸 BLOCKCHAIN ROLLUPS
Blockchain Rollups are a type of scaling solution that processes transactions on another blockchain known as Layer 2's and then rolls them up into batches for inclusion on the main blockchain.
