2022-12-14 19:41:19 Fantom Ecosystem Spotlight: COMB Protocol

COMB currently hosts a number of different applications which include liquidity farms, revenue share, fNFTs, an NFT marketplace, and a hub for yield bearing assets.

For those entering DeFi for the first time, they can quickly be confused by the jargon of liquidity, collateralized lending, or bonding. With Utopia, the team aims to solve this issue by abstracting those concepts and reducing the action of any complex investment into a few steps.

"COMB’s mission has shifted into building financial applications to solve one of Web3’s current problems: the user experience.

Due to Fantom’s great technology and captivating DeFi ecosystem, Fantom was the most attractive of all the other options. To this day, we stick to that decision. The Fantom team has proved to be all the more resilient to the bear market, and we see them continually developing to make this network amazing."

2022-12-01 17:01:14 New governance proposal: Fantom dApp Gas Monetization Program

As part of Fantom’s continuous push toward implementing sustainable monetization incentives for builders, this proposal seeks to reduce Fantom’s current burn-rate in order to redirect more network fees directly to dApps building on Fantom.

This gas monetization will reward high-quality dApps, retain talented creators, and support Fantom’s network infrastructure.

If passed, this implementation will reduce Fantom’s burn-rate of 20% to 5% and redirect this 15% reduction towards gas monetization. To vote, visit: https://beta.fwallet.fantom.network/governance
