Two new governance proposals are up for voting
FTM stakers, it’s time to vote!
Both proposals have the goal of further decentralizing the network

- Introduce the maximum self stake limit per node to encourage decentralization

Ankr API now available for Fantom developers
Developing on Fantom has just gotten easier! Developers no longer need to run read-only nodes themselves thanks to Ankr’s API services. Requests per day determine the costs, so developers only pay for consumed bandwidth.
Chainlink Price Feeds live on Fantom testnet
With Chainlink Price Feeds, Fantom developers can build and test a wide variety of DeFi applications with accurate reference data, running natively on Fantom for high speed and low costs. This integration was made possible by the Chainlink Community Grant Program, which awarded a grant to block42 to perform the development work. Block42 is actively working to launch Chainlink Price Feeds on Opera mainnet in the near future.
