Fantom Awakens

In the report, Cronje chronicled a detailed timeline of Fantom’s finances, starting from 2018 to until now. The DeFi developer also listed out the company’s major expenses that included listing fees for exchanges and payments to influencers. Cronje noted,
“Don’t try to compete with competitors for integrations, listings, partnerships. Unlike most of our competitors, the foundation owns a relatively small amount of FTM. At launch, Fantom owned less than 3%, today we own more than 14%. We prefer buying our token, we don’t sell our tokens for partnerships.”
