PANews reported on December 26 that Fantom founder Andre Cronje mentioned the core focus of the 2023 plan in a letter to the Fantom Foundation team, saying that next year Fantom needs to focus on vertical developers, and the primary goal will be to create a sustainable environment for DApp developers to distinguish it from other public chains.
Core focuses will include gas monetization, gas subsidies, account abstraction, economic abstraction of gas fees, new middleware (Fantom virtual machine, new storage mechanism), optimizing hardware limitations of throughput (PebbleDB, flat storage, etc.), updating documentation and training for new builders and non-blockchain developers, timely disclosure of financial status, providing funding and grant opportunities for DApp teams, and more.
In addition, Andre Cronje mentioned that he has been formally nominated and accepted the position of member of the board of directors of Fantom Foundation and Fantom Operations.
