Bahamut is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain powered by Proof of Stake and Activity (PoSA) consensus, which rewards validators for both FTN token staking and deploying smart contracts that drive on-chain usage. Bahamut delivers sub-cent gas fees, seconds-level block finality, and hundreds of TPS capacity for DeFi, payments, gaming, NFTs, and enterprise tokenization, tightly integrated with the Fastex ecosystem of exchange, wallet, and merchant tools.

Bahamut differentiates itself by incentivizing validators to actively build and maintain high-quality dApps rather than passively holding tokens, creating a fairer network where selection probability depends on real activity, not just stake size. The protocol benefits developers seeking Ethereum tooling compatibility with predictable low costs, validators earning dual rewards from staking and ecosystem participation, and enterprises requiring compliance-ready infrastructure for real-world payments, settlements, and regulated on/off-ramps.
