Algen Layer2 is a mainnet Layer 2 blockchain that uses ALG as its native gas token, built to scale on-chain transactions and cross-chain asset transfers. Primary use cases include bridging liquidity between networks, paying low-cost gas in ALG for fast confirmations, and powering dApps that need efficient settlement. Key performance metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, daily activity) are not listed in the provided context; visit https://www.algen.network or its block explorer for up-to-date numbers.
Algen Layer2 is unique in that it runs on mainnet with ALG-native gas, streamlining user experience for bridging and transactions without relying on wrapped fee tokens. It is designed for high-throughput, low-latency workloads and cross-chain interoperability, with performance metrics such as gas fees, block speed, TPS, and activity to be referenced from the official site or explorer as they are published.
