In the past week, Fantom announced the release of its decentralized "Ecosystem Vault" to fund projects and applications that are building on its blockchain.
Part of Fantom's continuous evolution toward decentralization, the Ecosystem Vault represents an on-chain fund funded by 10% of the transaction fees on Fantom and controlled by the community. The initiative was made possible by decreasing the burn rate of FTM and redirecting the resulting 10% to the vault.
Since the start of 2023, Fantom has witnessed notable achievements.
At the beginning of January, Fantom's governance proposal, which onboards gas monetization, passed successfully.
Also, cross-chain swaps are now enabled on Fantom via Pangolin DEX. Users will now be able to make swaps from FTM to AVAX and back directly through Bridge Swap on Pangolin DEX.
