A Bahamut RPC node provides applications with access to a blockchain purpose-built for GameFi with 1-second blocks and ultra-fast finality. Bahamut's PoSA consensus and gaming-focused architecture enable responsive blockchain games where on-chain interactions feel instantaneous, solving the latency problems that plague gaming on slower blockchains.
Why Bahamut for GameFi
Traditional blockchains are too slow for gaming — 12-second blocks (Ethereum) create noticeable lag. Bahamut's 1-second blocks deliver the responsiveness gamers expect. Combined with low fees and high throughput, Bahamut removes the technical barriers preventing mainstream blockchain gaming adoption.
Bahamut advantages:
- 1-second blocks — near-instant gameplay
- PoSA consensus — efficient and fast
- GameFi focused — optimized for gaming
- Low fees — affordable frequent interactions
- High throughput — handle gaming workloads
- EVM compatible — familiar development
Proof of Stake & Activity
PoSA (Proof of Stake and Activity) combines staking with validator activity requirements. Validators must both stake tokens AND actively participate in block production. This dual requirement ensures validators are incentivized to maintain high performance and availability — critical for gaming applications requiring consistent low latency.
How PoSA works:
- Validators stake FTN tokens
- Active validators selected for block production
- Validators must maintain uptime and performance
- Blocks produced every ~1 second
- Rewards distributed based on stake and activity
Gaming ecosystem
Bahamut is building a comprehensive GameFi ecosystem with blockchain games, NFT marketplaces, in-game asset exchanges, and gaming infrastructure. The network's speed and gaming focus attract developers building play-to-earn games, competitive esports platforms, and NFT-based gaming experiences.
With FastToken backing and gaming-first design, Bahamut positions itself as the go-to blockchain for serious GameFi projects.
