An EVM-compatible blockchain mainnet, Arena-Z uses ETH as native gas (Chain ID 7897) and enables deployment of Ethereum smart contracts with compatibility for popular wallets.
Arena-Z is a production mainnet that uses ETH as its native currency and powers the Arena cross-chain bridge, enabling secure settlement of cross-chain transfers and messaging. Core use cases include bridging tokens, liquidity rebalancing/swaps across networks, and on-chain settlement for DeFi and payments that need fast finality. As of 2025-09-24, public metrics for Arena-Z (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity) have not been published; check the official explorer when available for live performance data.
Arena-Z is unique in that it is ETH-gas-native and tightly integrated with a cross-chain bridge stack, removing gas-token fragmentation and streamlining user operations across chains. It is designed to deliver lower fees and faster confirmations than Ethereum L1 (which typically sees ~12s blocks, ~15–20 TPS, and higher gas costs), but authoritative Arena-Z figures for avg gas, block speed, TPS, and daily activity have not been publicly disclosed as of 2025-09-24.
