Fantom General Update | August 23 2021

Announcements

Your bi-weekly update of the Fantom ecosystem.

Chainlink price feeds are live on Fantom

Smart Contracts can now utilize Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network for high-quality, tamper-proof, and low latency price feeds. Accurate price feeds empower many DeFi functions, such as rebasing mechanics of algorithmic stablecoins, settling futures and options contracts, determining accurate staking rewards in liquidity pools, calculating collateralization ratios in lending and borrowing protocols, decentralized liquidation engines and much more.

This native integration was made possible by a grant given to block42 through the Chainlink Community Grant Program.

👉 Read the announcement

An introduction to Fantom CBDC

Fantom is not only providing the infrastructure for your favorite DeFi applications, but is also involved in the research and development of CBDC (central bank digital currency).

👉 Read our new article to get an overview of what the team has been working on in this area.

Fantom x Graviton

Graviton enables seamless cross-chain transfers of wrapped assets. Its products include bridge aggregators, cross-chain wallets, and LP reward farming products.

What does this mean for Fantom?

  • Inflow of new assets
  • Better liquidity through incentives

Graviton is currently in testing and will be launched within the next weeks. You will be able to earn rewards for providing liquidity to pools containing wrapped versions of Fantom-native tokens.
