Vault to boost Fantom’s dApps ecosystem
Announcing the official launch of Vault, Fantom said: blog post Funding mechanisms include governance proposals from the community.
The project represents the continued evolution of Fantom as the community looks to further decentralization, the Fantom Foundation team writes.
Vault’s on-chain mechanism enables a funding profile that allows projects and developers looking to build decentralized apps (dApps) in the ecosystem to secure funding. As previously mentioned, the funding pool also gives the Fantom community the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the blockchain through funding decisions.
