How to add Fantom (FTM) to MetaMask?



 Fantom is a very popular cryptocurrency and smart contract platform that is the basis of decentralized applications. The Fantom Blockchain is characterized by efficiency and high scalability. The Fantom Token (FTM) rose massively in value in the second half of the year and brought investors high profits. If you want to earn money from Fantom's growth, you should use the MetaMask as a wallet for your Fantom tokens.

MetaMask is a very good choice because you can not only hold FTM tokens with this wallet, but also have functions such as token swaps and can even connect to decentralized applications. We will explain how to connect Fantom (FTM) to the MetaMask. 


What is the MetaMask?

The MetaMask is an extremely popular crypto wallet, which is based on Ethereum and also supports other tokens (e.g. tokens according to the ERC-20 standard). It is a software wallet, but it is also used as a mobile app or as an extension for the Google Chrome browser. The special feature of the wallet is that MetaMask can not only function as a regular wallet. It can also communicate with smart contracts of a blockchain and the decentralized applications. 


MetaMask was developed by ConsenSys in 2016. MetaMask has also been available as a mobile app since autumn 2020. In October 2020, the wallet exceeded the milestone of more than 1 million monthly users for the first time. In August 2021 there were already 10 million active monthly users. MetaMask uses JavaScript as the programming language. The pixelated fox head is the wallet's famous logo.

MetaMask is a hot wallet. Many investors use a hot wallet for the short to medium-term storage of coins. The advantage of hot wallets is the quick availability of cryptocurrencies. In terms of security, the cold wallet is still superior. You can find more information about cold wallets in this article. However, as an individual with medium amounts, you can very well use MetaMask to store cryptocurrencies. You can find an overview of different types of crypto wallets here .


What is Fantom (FTM)?

Fantom is a blockchain and smart contract platform that supports decentralized applications. It is a layer-1 blockchain that uses Lachesis as an independent consensus layer. Decentralized applications and digital assets can be built on the blockchain.


Phantom (FTM)

The Fantom Foundation has existed since 2018. Fantom's mainnet called Opera went online at the end of 2019. Opera is open source and compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The native token FTM ensures the operation of the network and a consistently high speed for transactions. Transaction speeds are under 2 seconds, making Fantom an extremely fast network.


The FT; Token experienced a big jump in price especially in the second half of 2021. In mid-July, the FTM was still at $0.17. In the coming months, the token rose to an all-time high of $3.30 in mid-January 2022. Since then, like almost all cryptocurrencies, the price has fallen in the first quarter of 2022. Right now, the FTM is $1.27 (as of 03/19/2022).

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
