Community Drives Exceptional Growth on Fantom DeFi

The cryptocurrency market has been bearish mainly due to the Bitcoin crash. Blockchain projects are hard-hit during this trend.

On the other hand, Fantom blockchain is scaling new heights in this crypto downtrend. In July 2021, Fantom crossed $300 million in total value locked, clocking an 800% growth from the previous three months.

This growth was possible as Fantom provides the best services to their users, and in exchange, users show massive support for the project. Fantom has demonstrated that if you build a user-centric platform, users will help support you no matter what.  

Here’s how Fantom performed in the crypto downtrend

As of July 2021, Fantom has a TVL of $306 million. This is more than an 800% increase in the past three months. 

For a bit of background, the total value locked in a specific protocol determines its health. Essentially, TVL is the value of assets staked in a protocol. In short, higher TVL means more people are trusting Fantom and staking their assets on the platform.
