AIA is a mainnet Layer-1 blockchain whose native AIA token is used for gas, staking, and network security. It targets AI-driven and data-intensive applications, enabling cross-chain asset transfers, agent micropayments, model/data licensing, DeFi, and enterprise data provenance.
AIA stands out by targeting AI-centric workflows and high-frequency micropayments with a low-fee, fast-finality user experience and first-party cross-chain tooling. For up-to-date performance metrics—average gas cost, block speed, sustained TPS, and on-chain activity—consult the official explorer linked at aiachain.org; benchmark them against Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks, ~15 TPS) and Solana (~0.4s blocks, 1k+ TPS) to gauge relative performance.
AIA uses AIA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain AIA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge AIA to AIA, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select AIA as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
