The term Fantom refers to three distinct subjects: a Swedish velomobile, a cryptocurrency platform, and a genomics research consortium. The Fantom velomobile is a four-wheeled vehicle originally sold as a set of drawings by Hobbex since the 1940s, though it was never produced as a finished commercial product and reportedly contained design flaws. In contrast, Fantom (FTM) is a Proof of Stake cryptocurrency network that has gained attention for its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, rapid user growth, and total value locked (TVL) metrics compared to other blockchain assets.
Separately, FANTOM (Functional Annotation of the Mouse/Mammalian Genome) is an international research consortium established in 2000 at the RIKEN research institute in Japan. This scientific project focuses on annotating the function of mammalian genomes and developing methodologies for genomics research. These three entities share the name Fantom but operate in entirely unrelated fields of transportation, finance, and biological science.
The Fantom velomobile was sold as a set of blueprints rather than a finished vehicle, with only ten documented builds despite over 100,000 copies of the drawings being sold.
Fantom (FTM) is a Proof of Stake cryptocurrency that experienced significant growth in unique wallet addresses and dApp development between 2021 and early 2022.
The FANTOM research consortium was founded in 2000 to annotate the mouse transcriptome and has since expanded to study the regulation of mammalian genomes.
The RIKEN-led FANTOM project developed specialized methodologies, such as trehalose-based reverse transcriptase protocols, to improve the generation of full-length cDNA libraries.
It is a four-wheeled Swedish velomobile that was sold as a set of drawings rather than a finished product, with design issues that made it difficult to build.
The consortium aims to annotate the function of mammalian genomes and provide resources for gene discovery and understanding disease-causing genes.
Investors often evaluate Fantom by comparing its market capitalization to its total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance platforms.
