In blockchain, moving assets between chains can be complex and risky.

That’s why we built the Sonic Gateway, a secure and decentralized bridge between Ethereum and Sonic.

🧵 And with its Fast Lane, you’ll never miss a DeFi opportunity again. Assets bridged through the Gateway are processed in intervals called heartbeats:

⚡ Ethereum to Sonic: 10 min
⏱️ Sonic to Ethereum: 1 hour

During each heartbeat, all queued assets are bridged over together.

Heartbeats ensure gas efficiency, but sometimes, you just can't wait.

💸 Announcing @OpenBlockLabs as one of our key partners for our airdrop on Sonic with 190,500,000 $S across multiple phases!

OpenBlock will manage and oversee our points and airdrop designs on #Sonic through data-backed decision-making.

📢 Fantom’s latest governance proposal has passed, bringing gas monetization to successful dApps!

Along with optimizing demand for block space, this implementation rewards quality creators on #Fantom in a sustainable way, using a methodology similar to affiliate incentives.

🧵 2/ In addition, gas monetization will benefit #Fantom's ecosystem of builders by introducing a new revenue source: monetizing the volume of transactions generated by their dApps.

This serves the goal of attracting quality developer talent to ensure a healthy, sustainable network

We're extremely grateful to Andre for all he did for crypto as a whole.

However, Fantom isn't and never was a one man team.

There are 40+ people working at Fantom. The team effort is what allowed Fantom to become one of the most utilized and loved decentralized networks in world.

Hundreds of developers build on Fantom daily and 100k+ unique address use Fantom every day.

Contrary to some popular belief, Andre wasn't a core dev at Fantom.

Is Fantom a DAG or a blockchain?

A thread:

"Two nomenclatures to first clear up;

1. Blockchain the category
2. Blockchain the structure

A blockchain is a DAG.

- Directed: moves in one direction only
- Acyclic: you can't return to a node from the current node
- Graph All blockchain (structures) are DAGs.
A DAG can be a blockchain (category).

That out of the way, there are lots of DAGs already. Bitcoin even has leaf nodes (uncles).

So I don't get the DAG vs Blockchain argument.

Also, when looking at DAG, what implementation?
