FCOMI
FCOMI, also known as the Fantom Coin Offering, refers to the initial coin offering of the Fantom cryptocurrency. Fantom is a decentralized, scalable, and high-performance smart contract platform designed to overcome the limitations of existing blockchain technologies. It aims to provide a foundation for decentralized applications (dApps) that offer faster transaction speeds and lower fees. The FCOMI event was a crucial step in the development and funding of the Fantom ecosystem. It allowed early investors to acquire FTM tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the Fantom network, which are used for staking, governance, and paying transaction fees within the ecosystem. The Fantom project was developed by a team with a background in computer science and engineering, with a focus on creating a robust and efficient blockchain infrastructure. The FCOMI played a significant role in bootstrapping the Fantom network and fostering its community of developers and users. The Fantom platform utilizes a unique consensus mechanism called Lachesis, a aBFT (asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus protocol, which contributes to its speed and scalability. The FTM token is integral to the functioning and security of the Fantom network.
