Crypto Lender Polter Finance Shuts Down After Hack Drains Nearly All Funds
Decentralized lending platform Polter Finance suffered a devastating exploit on the Fantom blockchain, essentially wiping out most of its assets. The breach, discovered early Sunday, involved the manipulation of the platform’s token pricing mechanisms, leaving its users in shock. The attacker began by funneling funds through Tornado Cash, an Ethereum-based coin mixer that conceals the origin of funds. These assets were then bridged—transferred from Ethereum to the Fantom network—where the exploi...

Blockchain Tech 'Stuck in the Eighties': Fantom's Andre Cronje
Fantom co-founder Andre Cronje is hoping to give blockchain technology as we know it a facelift. "Blockchain technology is stuck in the eighties," he told Decrypt. "The internet and tech back then were predominantly used for financial applications simply because financial transactions were the only thing that made economic sense to digitize." Cronje added that today's standards mean those kinds of transactions now cost a fraction of a penny, something that "would cost you much more" on networks...

FTM Soars 35% on the Week as Fantom Preps Stablecoin Relaunch
Over the past week, FTM has soared roughly 35%. Chatter around a new stablecoin for the project alongside a host of new updates have likely been the key motors behind the latest move. These developments also suggest that DeFi developer Andre Cronje’s return to crypto is much more than just a phase. After saying goodbye to the game (again) last March, then returning in November, it now looks like the mind behind Yearn Finance and Keep3r (and numerous other high-profile projects) is rolling up his...

What Is Fantom? The Fast Blockchain Taking on Ethereum
Use an Ethereum protocol on a particularly congested day and you'll surely balk at the fees, which can easily surpass the value of your trade if you are, say, swapping crypto worth no more than the change in your pocket. Help is at hand in the form of alternative layer-1 blockchains like Solana, Avalanche, and the subject of today’s lecture: Fantom. Fantom is a smart contract-supporting blockchain, powered by its native FTM token. Following a $40 million raise, Fantom launched its mainnet in Dec...
