Fantom (FTM), a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based smart contract platform that aims to solve the scalability issues of distributed ledger technologies, has unveiled a major partnership that will help bring blockchain technology to Dubai.
According to the announcement, the Fantom Foundation has partnered with Seed Group and The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, who is the president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and CEO of the Emirates Group, to establish an operational presence in the region.
