An EVM-compatible blockchain by Instadapp enabling account-abstraction smart wallets with USDC gas and seamless cross-chain transactions from a single address.
Avocado is a USDC-native, EVM-compatible Layer 2 by Instadapp that provides a single smart-account address to transact across multiple EVM chains with unified gas and policy controls. Primary use cases include cross-chain DeFi execution, automated strategies, and treasury operations via account abstraction features (paymasters, session keys, spend limits). Typical performance: sub-cent USDC fees per transaction, low‑second block times, and hundreds‑TPS capacity—dramatically faster and cheaper than L1 Ethereum.
Avocado’s key differentiator is USDC as the native gas, removing price volatility and enabling sponsored gas and seamless cross‑chain execution from one unified smart account. It ships chain abstraction and ERC‑4337-native accounts out of the box (guardians, spend limits, session keys) and anchors security via Arbitrum tech and Ethereum. Compared to L1s (~12s blocks, ~15 TPS, multi‑dollar fees), Avocado targets low‑second blocks, hundreds+ TPS, and <$0.01 USDC average fees for predictable, consumer‑grade UX.
Avocado uses USDC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain USDC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge USDC to Avocado, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Avocado as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
