Bear Network Chain (BRNKC) is an EVM-compatible Layer‑1 mainnet built for fast, low‑cost smart contracts and payments. Primary use cases include DeFi, NFT marketplaces, GameFi, and micro‑payments, with a cross‑chain bridge enabling asset transfers between Bear Network and major EVM ecosystems. Developers deploy Solidity contracts using standard Ethereum tooling (RPC, MetaMask) for seamless onboarding.
Bear Network Chain differentiates with sub‑cent average gas fees, block confirmations in a few seconds, and practical throughput in the low‑hundreds TPS—competitive with leading EVM networks and far cheaper than Ethereum L1. Network activity can be tracked via the explorer linked from https://bearnetwork.net, and its bridge‑first design plus full EVM compatibility make it ideal for predictable‑fee, cross‑chain applications and high‑frequency microtransactions.
Bear Network Chain uses BRNKC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain BRNKC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge BRNKC to Bear Network Chain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Bear Network Chain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Bear Network Chain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Bear Network Chain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send BRNKC on Bear Network Chain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Bear Network Chain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of BRNKC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
