Which Chains does Infinex currently support?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Infinex currently supports 19 different chains:

Ethereum

The Ethereum blockchain is a decentralized platform that powers smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) using its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). It is the foundation for various digital assets, including NFTs, and is central to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.

Base

Base is a layer-2 network developed by Coinbase to enhance Ethereum's scalability by shifting some of the computational burden away from the Ethereum mainnet. It focuses on providing a secure and user-friendly environment for dApps, aiming to broaden Ethereum's accessibility and efficiency.

Optimism

Optimism is a layer-2 solution that implements Optimistic Rollups to streamline Ethereum transactions by bundling them together and processing them off-chain. This approach emphasizes simplicity and developer experience, ensuring near-native Ethereum compatibility while boosting transaction throughput.

Arbitrum

Arbitrum is a layer-2 solution designed to optimize Ethereum’s performance through a unique multi-round fraud-proof system within Optimistic Rollups. It prioritizes flexibility and compatibility, allowing developers to deploy complex smart contracts with enhanced efficiency and reduced costs.

Polygon

Polygon is a multi-chain layer-2 network that employs sidechains and other scaling methods to offload transactions from the Ethereum mainnet. Known for its versatility, Polygon supports a wide array of dApps, providing developers with tools to create scalable, secure, and user-friendly blockchain applications.

Solana

The Solana chain is a high-performance blockchain designed for fast, low-cost transactions and scalable decentralized applications (dApps) using its native crypto currency, SOL. It uses a unique proof-of-history (PoH) mechanism combined with proof-of-stake (PoS) to achieve high throughput and low latency.

Blast

Blast is a layer-2 chain with native yield for ETH and Stablecoins that is supported by Infinex. This yield comes from ETH staking and RWA protocols, and is passed back to users automatically. Blast also returns net gas revenue to Dapps on Blast.

Berachain

Berachain is an EVM-identical L1 that aims to align security and liquidity through its novel 'Proof Of Liquidity' consensus mechanism. This involves a play on traditional 'Proof of Stake' systems that separates the token responsible for gas/security from the token responsible for governance/rewards.

Unichain

Unichain is a Stage 1 Rollup EVM layer-2 that aims to achieve speed and cost efficiency while also having deep cross-chain liquidity. Built by Uniswap Labs, Unichain supports native interoperability as part of the 'Superchain'.

BNB Smart Chain

BNB Smart Chain is EVM-compatible L1 that features fast finality and interoperability within its Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA) governance. Formerly Binance Smart Chain, BNB Smart Chain is developed by Binance and is part of an ecosystem of BNB chains, including BNB Beacon Chain, zkBNB, BNB Greenfield, and others.

Sonic

Migrating from Fantom, Sonic is an EVM L1 geared towards DeFi with 10,000 transactions per second, sub-second finality, EVM compatibility, and Solidity/Vyper support for developers. This was upgraded from Opera, which was the smart contract platform of Fantom previously and is actively developed by Sonic Labs.

Avalanche

Avalanche is a decentralized smart contract platform designed for high throughput, low latency, and interoperability, enabling developers to launch custom blockchain networks and decentralized applications (dApps). It uses a novel consensus protocol that allows thousands of transactions per second while maintaining strong security and scalability.

Ink

Ink Chain is a blockchain-based platform designed to support the global cultural and creative industries by providing copyright protection, traceability, and decentralized content distribution. It utilizes smart contracts to help creators register, manage, and monetize their intellectual property securely and transparently. Built on the Qtum blockchain, Ink Chain aims to bridge the gap between traditional content creators and the decentralized digital economy.


Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for decentralized trading and financial applications. It features a fully on-chain order book and utilizes a custom consensus mechanism, HyperBFT, to achieve sub-second finality and low-latency transactions. Designed to offer the speed and efficiency of centralized exchanges while maintaining full transparency and self-custody, Hyperliquid enables advanced trading features such as perpetuals and spot markets entirely on-chain. Its architecture prioritizes scalability, fairness, and a seamless user experience for traders and developers alike.

Near

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized, developer-friendly blockchain designed for scalability, usability, and high performance, making it ideal for building decentralized applications (dApps). It uses a unique sharding technology called Nightshade, which enables parallel processing of transactions to achieve fast throughput and low fees. NEAR also features human-readable account names, a progressive UX, and a strong emphasis on onboarding Web2 developers into the Web3 ecosystem.

Using the Near Protocol, users on Infinex can deposit, send or swidge into the following chains.


Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first and most widely recognized blockchain network, serving as the foundation of the decentralized digital currency movement. It operates on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, enabling secure, peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. Known for its robust security and limited supply of 21 million BTC, Bitcoin is primarily used as a store of value and medium of exchange across the global crypto ecosystem.

Cardano

Cardano is a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain platform built for scalability, sustainability, and security. Powered by its innovative Ouroboros consensus protocol, Cardano provides an energy-efficient and reliable foundation for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is an open-source, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that leverages blockchain technology to enable fast and low-cost transactions. Originally created as a lighthearted parody of the rapidly growing crypto space, it is widely recognized as the first “memecoin” in the world of digital assets. Throughout the years, Dogecoin has developed a strong community and remains a popular and widely recognized cryptocurrency.

XRP Ledger

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a high-performance, decentralized blockchain designed for fast, low-cost global payments and asset transfers. Utilizing a unique consensus protocol rather than traditional mining, it enables transactions to settle in seconds with minimal energy consumption. XRP, the native asset of the ledger, facilitates liquidity and cross-border interoperability across financial institutions and payment networks.

Zcash

Zcash is a privacy-focused blockchain that enhances financial confidentiality through advanced zero-knowledge proofs known as zk-SNARKs. This technology allows transactions to be fully encrypted while still verifiable on the blockchain, giving users the option of selective transparency.
