Fantom (FTM), is the native token of the Fantom Opera blockchain. The Fantom blockchain is based on a protocol named Lachesis. Lachesis is designed as a high-throughput, fast finality, inherently secure consensus protocol using asynchronous event transmission allowing for near real time practical Byzantine fault tolerance. It is a leaderless, resiliently scalable, asynchronous Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) protocol...

Just off the top of my head. Show's you how much of a nerd I am LOL! Fantom is great though... it was also designed as a super low fee chain. I remember reading one of their reference papers which included an analysis of the actual cost of running a network, compared to the fee's charged for transactions by other blockchains. Their conclusion was that fee's were way oversized. I'll see if I can hunt down a link for that and post it later.
