Commenting on the recent rise in FTM price, anonymous crypto trader and investor Mister Crypto attributed Fantom's performance to "a lot of hidden developments."
Mr. Crypto added:
"I believe that eventually it will lead to significant growth. It may take some time, but I think it will happen eventually."
Perhaps the most notable new feature in Fantom is the Sonic update, which is expected to significantly improve network performance by introducing a new Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), an optimized Lachesis consensus engine, and a Carmen database store.
Sonic is scheduled to be released in November or December 2024.
After this upgrade, the Fantom blockchain will be able to process over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) with a completion time of approximately one second. This will be a significant improvement over the current 30 TPS.
The closed testnet with simulated traffic demonstrated a maximum theoretical throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) with a completion time of 729 milliseconds, marking a major milestone in the development of the blockchain.
