The $15 million investment by HyperChain follows a 2018 investment of $2.5 million. Additionally, the company’s Hyperblocks subsidiary runs validators that help secure the Fantom blockchain. Per a Fantom Foundation press release, the investment “reflects HyperChain’s confidence in both Fantom core technologies and the rapid adoption of Fantom by end-users and developers.”

Fantom is an alternative to the Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) blockchain that uses an asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus model to validate transactions. This allows for the network to be decentralized, scalable and secure, not just two of the three. In practice, this means minimal fees and near-instantaneous transactions.

Last week, Fantom rolled out a huge network upgrade, called Go-Opera. This upgrade made transactions faster (they now take ~1 second) and improved other network efficiencies. This makes Fantom one of the fastest blockchains in the world.

Yesterday, Fantom announced a partnership with Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly, which follows an endorsement by Mark Cuban. This follows partnerships with Clover Finance (CCC:CLV-USD) in decentralized finance (DeFi) and SuperFarm in non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
