VANCOUVER, March 23rd, 2021 - Covalent is delighted to announce a technical partnership with Fantom, a high-performance, scalable, customizable, and secure smart-contract platform.
Founded in 2018, Fantom is designed to overcome the limitations of previous-generation blockchain platforms. Fantom is permissionless, decentralized, and open-source while achieving fast finality (1-2 second transaction confirmation) and low fees ($0.00001). Furthermore, Fantom is EVM-compatible.
When examining how to overcome the data accessibility issue on blockchain networks, Fantom knew a best-in-class API would be needed given that builders require such when developing applications. By integrating Covalent’s indexing solution, developers will be able to pull Fantom blockchain data seamlessly. This includes:
- Token balances per address
- Historical transactions per address
- Historical prices by address and ticker symbol
- Decoded log events
Querying the Fantom blockchain will be as simple as changing one parameter on the Covalent API; chainId. Also, integrating with Covalent allows builders from the Ethereum ecosystem to re-purpose their technology for Fantom.
