A public blockchain mainnet with native ALG (chain ID 8911), optimized for fast, low-fee transactions and scalable infrastructure for real-world applications.
Algen is a production mainnet blockchain whose native currency, ALG, is used to pay transaction fees and interact with on-chain applications (see https://www.algen.network). It is designed to support cross-chain asset transfers via bridges and to provide general-purpose settlement for DeFi, payments, and asset issuance.
Algen emphasizes interoperability to simplify bridge connectivity and liquidity routing across chains, with a straightforward fee model denominated in ALG. As of 2025-09-24, the project has not published verifiable performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, on-chain activity); consult the official site or explorer for the latest numbers when comparing it to other networks.
Algen uses ALG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ALG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ALG to Algen, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Algen as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
