Aves is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet with the native currency AVS, built for low-fee, high-throughput DeFi, payments, gaming, and NFT minting. Typical network performance features single‑digit‑second block times (~1–3s), sub‑cent average gas costs for simple transfers, and capacity in the hundreds of TPS—ideal for cross-chain swaps and microtransactions. Developers use standard Solidity tooling and MetaMask/RPC endpoints, making migration from other EVM chains straightforward.
Aves stands out with consistently low gas fees and fast block finality (~1–3s), delivering hundreds of TPS and steady daily on‑chain activity (tens of thousands of transactions) while preserving full EVM compatibility. Compared with Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks and higher fees), Aves enables sub‑cent transfers and near‑instant confirmations, which is advantageous for bridge routing, market making, and micropayments. Its mainnet-native AVS economy and stable infrastructure provide predictable costs and performance for production-grade DeFi and cross-chain applications.
Aves uses AVS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain AVS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge AVS to Aves, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Aves as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
