An EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, Bifrost delivers multichain interoperability with low-fee transactions and developer-friendly middleware, using BFC as its native gas token.
Bifrost is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet (native token BFC) purpose-built for omnichain interoperability, offering native cross-chain messaging and execution. It enables developers to deploy single-codebase dApps that call contracts and move liquidity across multiple chains, covering use cases like cross-chain DeFi, swaps/bridging, interoperable NFTs, and gaming. BFC is used for gas, staking, and network security.
Bifrost stands out with built-in generalized message passing and a cross-chain router, letting smart contracts trigger atomic actions across chains without third-party relayers. For performance, public explorer data indicates low fees (typically sub-cent for simple transfers), fast block times around 1–2 seconds with near-instant finality, and team benchmarks in the thousands of TPS; network activity commonly reaches thousands of daily active addresses and tens of thousands of daily transactions. Compared to many EVM L1s, it combines low gas costs with native interoperability and a unified developer SDK.
Bifrost uses BFC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain BFC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge BFC to Bifrost, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Bifrost as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Bifrost 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 Bifrost 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 BFC on Bifrost, ensure your wallet is connected to the Bifrost network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of BFC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
