1/n In 2021, $FTM achieved incredible growth across all key metrics. I expect this growth to continue, with Fantom positioned as one of the most exciting base layers heading into 2022.
Here's why it should be on everyone's list of key projects to watch:
🧵
2/n Technology: Consensus
- $FTM employs a DAG based (Directed Acyclic Graph) aBFT (Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant) consensus mechanism called Lachesis, secured by Proof of Stake
- This allows for an extremely efficient, scalable, and low cost method of validating trxs

1/n Last week @MoonbeamNetwork won the 2nd parachain slot auction and will soon be connecting to the @Polkadot relaychain. Here's why it's a big deal

2/n As a refresher, parachains are the Layer 1 blockchains built on top of the Layer 0 @Polkadot relaychain.
Kusama (Polkadot's canary/beta network) has the same architecture

2/n @biconomy has built crucial middleware for the blockchain stack to eliminate many of the frictions users face when transacting today. Current crypto applications and use cases are largely geared towards early adopters with technology backgrounds.

1/n Crypto fundamental analysis is still nascent. Many investors who are new to #crypto this bull cycle don't know where to go to track the real and meaningful traction across #DeFi, #NFTs, new base layers, and elsewhere. So instead, price becomes a proxy for fundamental value.
2/n New retail investors line up to buy as prices go up, because it must mean core fundamentals have improved. When prices decline, new investors either sell or don't seize the opportunity to buy the dip because they believe something negative must have happened to fundamentals.
