Fantom 的 Sonic 升级刺激了加密货币浪潮，超越了竞争对手

Has Fantom's Sonic Upgrade Ignited a Crypto Surge?

The meteoric rise of Fantom's native token, FTM, has caught the attention of crypto enthusiasts and investors alike. Over the past four weeks, FTM has surged by an impressive 190%, outperforming all other non-meme cryptocurrencies within the top 100 digital assets.

What's Behind FTM's Rally?

The upcoming Sonic upgrade has emerged as a potential catalyst for the FTM bull run. The upgrade's testnet has showcased remarkable improvements in transaction processing speeds and finality times.

The Sonic Upgrade: A Game-Changer for Fantom?

The Sonic upgrade is poised to replace the existing Opera mainnet in the spring of this year. The closed testnet, which simulates real-world traffic, has demonstrated a maximum theoretical throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) with a time to finality of just 1.1 seconds. This is a significant leap from the Opera mainnet's current throughput of 3.2 TPS.

Enhanced Performance with Fantom Virtual Machine

Another crucial component of the Sonic upgrade is the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM). Designed to significantly boost smart contract execution speed, the FVM translates Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) code into its own format, enabling a seamless transition for developers. This backward compatibility allows popular Ethereum-based decentralized applications to migrate effortlessly to Fantom.

Unlocking New Horizons for the Fantom Ecosystem

Experts believe that Fantom Sonic will unleash new possibilities for the Fantom ecosystem, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain gaming, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The enhanced throughput and efficiency will facilitate smoother DeFi platform operations, richer gaming experiences, efficient handling of microtransactions, and secure IoT data exchanges.

Is DeFi Interest Lagging Behind?

Despite the impending upgrade, investor interest in Fantom's DeFi ecosystem remains subdued. Data from DeFiLlama reveals a decline in the number of FTM locked in Fantom's DeFi applications, reaching its lowest point since May 2021. This disconnect suggests that the Sonic upgrade has yet to fully ignite investor enthusiasm in the DeFi space.
