As the headline sponsor of this year's Paris Blockchain Week, Fastex stole the show with a powerful display of its Web3 capabilities. Its blockchain platform Bahamut, along with the suite of next gen solutions took center stage.
What sets Bahamut, the site is exactly that. The consensus, where basically validators have a chance to deploy their own smart contracts and tie them to their validator node. And whenever this smart contract gets used, they accumulate activity which you can view as rating in the eyes of the consensus. And the higher the rating of the given validator is, the more rewards they'll be able to earn in the future because they'll be chosen more frequently to trade new blocks.
Crypto and traditional finance are working with each other instead of working against each other. We see that 70% of Fortune 500 companies are really interested in the crypto trend. We are free to use FastXCart and do your daily transactions. You just need to top up it beforehand with your favorite cryptocurrency. We are trying to make the payment process as simple as possible, but on the other hand as secure as possible as well.
We recently launched fastexus.com website which is dedicated to the US users only and and we launched spot trading for a couple of coins. And that's just the beginning of the journey for FastX in the US we are shifting from our previous Lithuanian entity towards our Maltese one which will be our main Nika entity. And that's a big move and we are excited for the opportunity that we will be passporting this across the all European Union and EEA countries.
And at the Bahamut hackathon, FastX threw open the doors to innovation, inviting developers to build the future on the Bahamut layer 1 blockchain. The timing couldn't have been better. On April 8, the Bahamut chain hit a major milestone, completing its transition to the proof of Stake and Activity consensus mechanism.
Right now we have over 2025 projects. Live use cases are multiple. Anything that's connected to a smart contract or if it's smart contract based, works with COSA can be a PRC20 token, can be an NFT collection, can be liquid staking Prototol, it can be a lending and borrowing protocol or a dex. We want to keep repeating this cycle. You create something, you get rewarded for it. You see this, we get excited, right? To build more stuff or to perfect what you have so that you'll get more interactions and more users and then you'll get more rewards for that. So this keeps in Lower Paris Blockchain.
Week came to a close with a grand finale at the iconic La Machine du Moulin Rouge. An unforgettable night that carried on until 3am proudly sponsored by FastX.
