Fantom


Fantom API is available on Web3 API platform.

Fantom is a secure platform to build DApps. It is fully permissionless and open-source. Powered by Fantom’s aBFT consensus algorithm, it leverages its speed to produce real-world applications with no risks of congestion or long confirmation times. The Fantom Opera mainnet is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and provides full smart contracts support through Solidity.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Fantom — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Fantom node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in many various message passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
