Fantom (FTM) -
https://fantom.foundationFantom Opera MainNet has been deployed on December 27, 2019. Currently the staking reward on Opera MainNet is 60.30%.

validator block42)
https://www.stakingrewards.com/Fantom is a series of technology components, that, when combined, form a technology stack that allow a larger ecosystem of applications to be built on top of them (e.g. XAR Network, the framework for Cosmos and Fantom-based decentralized finance).
https://xar.network/The focus is on developing the Lachesis asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (“aBFT”) and TxFlow consensus mechanisms.
“aBFT” means that transactions are confirmed as fast as possible as they enter the network, instead of waiting for previous transactions to be confirmed. This significantly speeds up the network.

At the moment two mainnets have been deployed:
The transaction speed on Opera has been limited to 500 TPS because of the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM). In Q3 of 2020 Fantom is expected to have its own virtual machine (FVM) which will drastically improve the transaction speed on Opera.
