Fantom Network

Introduction

Fantom is a fast, high-throughput open-source smart contract platform for digital assets and dApps.

Founded in 2018, Fantom is designed to overcome the limitations of previous-generation blockchain platforms. Fantom is permissionless, decentralized, and open-source while achieving fast finality (1-2 second transaction confirmation) and low fees ($0.00001). Furthermore, Fantom is EVM-compatible.

Fantom code is completely open source. Anyone can read it, check on the progress, comment on it, and contribute. Fantom integrates industry-leaders oracle providers Chainlink and Band Protocol for maximum flexibility to access price feeds.

Supported endpoints

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/address/{address}/balances_v2/

    • Get token balances for address. Return a list of all ERC20 and NFT token balances including ERC721 and ERC1155 along with their current spot prices.

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/address/{address}/transactions_v2/

    • Retrieve all transactions for address including their decoded log events. This endpoint does a deep-crawl of the blockchain to retrieve all kinds of transactions that references the address.

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/address/{address}/transfers_v2/

    • Get ERC20 token transfers for address along with historical token prices.

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/tokens/{contract_address}/token_holders/

    • Return a paginated list of token holders contract_address as of any historical block height.

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/events/address/{contract_address}/

    • Return a paginated list of decoded log events emitted by a particular smart contract.

  • api.covalenthq.com/v1/{chainId}/events/topics/{topic}/

Appendix

Fantom token

The Fantom token FTM is the native token of Fantom. This is similar to Ether in Ethereum. To interact with the Fantom network, FTM tokens are required to pay gas fees. The Covalent API response returns gas_* fields in fiat units.

Token mapping

Covalent maintains an on-chain real-time mapping of token addresses between Ethereum mainnet and the Fantom chain. These addresses are used to reverse-lookup prices on Fantom and also to return the right token logo urls.

Some example of mapped tokens:

TokenEthereum mainnetFantom mainnet
USDT0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec70x1ffbd1e3584f139ca42d77ef99ef99550ecf46a8

Token prices

For tokens that have a mapping back to Ethereum mainnet, Covalent is able to return the mapped prices.
