It is designed to be fast, secure, and scalable, with a focus on enabling real-time, low-latency transactions and data-sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The network is based on a novel consensus mechanism called Lachesis, which is a variant of the directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional blockchains, which use blocks to store transactions, the network uses a DAG structure to store and validate transactions. This allows for higher transaction throughput and faster confirmation times, as well as more flexibility in terms of the types of data that can be stored on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fantom network also has a modular architecture that allows for the deployment of different types of DLT applications, such as public or private networks, and the use of different consensus mechanisms and cryptographic algorithms. This makes it highly adaptable and capable of serving a wide range of use cases and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key features of the network is its focus on interoperability, which means that it is designed to be able to connect and communicate with other DLT systems and networks. This allows for the transfer of data and value between different systems and enables the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/building-a-dapp-guide\/\">decentralized applications<\/a> that can interact with multiple networks and platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Network Name: Fantom Opera Network<\/li><li>New RPC URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rpcapi.fantom.network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/rpcapi.fantom.network<\/a><\/li><li>ChainID: 250<\/li><li>Currency Symbol: FTM<\/li><li>Block Explorer URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ftmscan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ftmscan.com<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-avalanche-network\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Avalanche_Network\"><\/span>4.

You may also use it for creating decentralized applications or dApps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ava Labs is the creator of Avalanche Network. One of the greatest things about Avalanche Network is its stability. In fact, it supports a very high transaction throughput, which is equivalent to around 4,500 transactions per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avalanche network has its native coin named AVAX. AVAX coin has a maximum supply cap of 720 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about Avalanche is that it has a unique <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/defi-meaning\/\">decentralized finance<\/a> ecosystem (DeFi ecosystem). You will also be able to see how numerous DeFi projects based on Ethereum are integrated along with this platform. TrueUSD, Securitize, SushiSwap, and bZx are to name a few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Avalanche continues to develop a bridge, which people can use to access Ethereum network on MetaMask. This ensures a hassle-free channel to proceed with transferring assets in between two networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Network Name: Avalanche Network<\/li><li>RPC URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/api.avax.network\/ext\/bc\/C\/rpc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/api.avax.network\/ext\/bc\/C\/rpc<\/a><\/li><li>Chain ID: 43114<\/li><li>Currency Symbol: AVAX<\/li><li>Block Explorer URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cchain.explorer.avax.network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cchain.explorer.avax.network\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-sepolia-testnet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sepolia_Testnet\"><\/span>5.

Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/rpc\/goerli?ref=Article&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\">Goerli<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/rpc\/sepolia?ref=Article&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sepolia<\/a> are the only two main <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/testnet-meaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testnets<\/a> that have not been deprecated while <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/rpc\/rinkeby?ref=Article&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rinkeby<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/rpc\/kovan?ref=Article&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kovan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/rpc\/ropsten?ref=Article&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ropsten<\/a> have been dropped. Because Sepolia is currently maintained by client developers, it is a secure and reliable test environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sepolia initially used a <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/proof-of-work-meaning\/\">proof-of-work (PoW)<\/a> consensus mechanism at launch in 2021. But with the arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/the-merge-ethereum\/\">The Merge<\/a>, Sepolia merged with the PoS Sepolia Beacon Chain and now employs a PoS consensus process, much like the Ethereum mainnet. Sepolia now accurately replicates the Ethereum mainnet as a result of The Merge, making it suited for testing smart contracts and dapps in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Create your Ethereum ERC20 token | Metaschool\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HN3e9fJNv0w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Network name: Sepolia Test Network<\/li><li>RPC URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rpc.sepolia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/rpc.sepolia.org\/<\/a><\/li><li>Chain ID: 11155111<\/li><li>Currency symbol: SepplETH<\/li><li>Block Explorer URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sepolia.etherscan.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/sepolia.etherscan.io<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-goerli-testnet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Goerli_Testnet\"><\/span>6.

Goerli is also designed to be more resistant to spam and malicious attacks, making it a more stable environment for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers can use Goerli to test their smart contracts and dApps, try out new features and protocols, and explore the Ethereum ecosystem without having to worry about the cost or security risks of using real Ether. It is a useful tool for developers and researchers working on the Ethereum platform, as it allows them to test their ideas and innovations in a safe and controlled environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goerli is supported by a number of Ethereum clients, including Geth, Pantheon, and Parity. This allows developers to test their applications on different clients and make sure that they are compatible with each other. Goerli also has a block explorer and faucet, which makes it easier to monitor transactions and obtain Ether on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Network Name: Goerli Network<\/li><li>RPC URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goerli.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/goerli.net\/<\/a><\/li><li>Chain ID: 6284<\/li><li>Currency Symbol: GTH<\/li><li>Block Explorer URL:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/explorer.anyblock.tools\/goerli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/explorer.anyblock.tools\/goerli\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd2e <strong>Explore<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/set-gas-fees-metamask-wallet\/\">How to set gas fees on MetaMask wallet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-celo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_CELO\"><\/span>7.

It also has a focus on usability and accessibility, with the goal of making it easy for anyone to use and participate in the network, regardless of their technical expertise or financial resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of its key features is its use of stablecoins, which are digital assets that are pegged to a real-world asset, such as a fiat currency or commodity. This helps to stabilize the value of the network and makes it more suitable for use in real-world transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Network Name: CELO Mainnet<br>RPC URL: <a href=\"https:\/\/forno.celo.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/forno.celo.org<\/a><br>ChainID: 42220<br>Currency Symbol: CELO<br>Block Explorer URL: <a href=\"https:\/\/explorer.celo.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/explorer.celo.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all for today, <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/fren-meaning\/\">frens<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you found this useful \ud83d\udd2e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"[\"title\",\"meta\",\"thumbnail\",\"content\",\"tags\",\"comments\"]","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,16],"tags":[10,11,9],"class_list":["post-217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blockchain","category-crypto","tag-add-tokens","tag-crypto-wallet","tag-metamask"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6813,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions\/6813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
