2023-04-06 18:17:56 Fantom Community Spotlight: yuvi

This week, read about yuvi's thoughts on decentralized governance, his writing to teach readers about DeFi, and his work in other areas in the crypto space.

"Code is DNA. It forms the building blocks of protocols & evolves over time - only the fittest survive. But it cannot evolve on its own.

Governance is RNA that enables evolution. It’s the mechanism by which external influence dictates information transfer conducive to survival."

2023-03-28 19:33:07 Fantom Ecosystem Spotlight: Plena Finance

Plena Finance is a self-custodial wallet, giving you complete control over your funds and assets at all times.

Account Abstraction has gained significant popularity recently, Plena has been using this feature in their wallets for over two years. Plena recognized the challenges users face when performing transactions on the blockchain and the need to simplify UX while giving users complete custody of their funds.

"Today, everyone believes that account abstraction technology will revolutionize the industry.

We gained the most traction when large centralized entities like FTX experienced crashes, and people began recognizing the significance of self-custody.

We chose to add Fantom to our application for several reasons.

The block time on Fantom was relatively short, which was a deciding factor. Fantom also already had a diverse selection of dApps available, which our users could easily access and use within our application.

Overall, the combination of low transaction fees, fast block times, and a thriving dApp ecosystem made Fantom an excellent choice for our platform."
