What is a Fantom node?

Fantom node is a physical or cloud server with specific software synchronized to its peers in the Fantom network. It is responsible for maintaining the blockchain's operations by validating and processing transactions.

How to run a Fantom (FTM) node?

To run a Fantom (FTM) node, you need to download the Fantom software, set up the node configuration on a capable server, and connect it to the Fantom network to start participating in transaction validation and network consensus.

What is a Fantom full node?

Fantom full node is a complete copy of the Fantom blockchain that stores all transaction data and helps maintain the network's security and decentralization by independently validating transactions and blocks.

What is RPC in the Fantom (FTM) blockchain?

In this case, RPC refers to the Remote Procedure Call interface provided by Fantom, which allows developers to interact with the Fantom network and perform various operations such as retrieving blockchain data, sending transactions, and executing smart contracts.

How does Fantom API work?

Fantom API works by providing a set of programming interfaces and protocols that developers can use to access and interact with the Fantom blockchain. It allows developers to query blockchain data, send transactions, and interact with smart contracts, enabling them to build applications and services on top of the Fantom network.

Fantom RPC: Why should you choose it?

Fantom is a veteran L1 blockchain powered by unique consensus technology Lachesis. Its killing feature is the ability to create various transaction execution chains.

Since the network launch in 2018, Fantom RPC nodes on-boarded dozens of dApps and reached interoperability with various leading smart contracts platforms.
In 2019-2022 Fantom Foundation was advised by Andre Cronje, legendary ‘Father of DeFi’. Fantom RPC API ecosystem is among Top-5 platforms for DeFis by total value locked (TVL).
Computational infrastructure of Fantom API is underpinned by its native virtual machine Opera. Fantom RPC ecosystem is built on the top of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based algorithm and asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance (aBFT) consensus
