BTC20 Smart Chain is a mainnet smart‑contract network with BTCC as its native gas token, built to power cross‑chain bridges, DeFi, payments, gaming, and tokenization. Primary use cases include fast settlement for cross‑chain asset transfers, low‑fee swaps and stablecoin payments, and liquidity routing for dApps. As of September 2025, publicly verifiable metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, daily active users) are not disclosed; consult bitcoincode.technology and the chain explorer for live stats before bridging.
BTC20 Smart Chain is unique for its bridge‑first architecture and BTCC‑based fee model that targets predictable gas fees and streamlined interoperability for cross‑chain liquidity. Compared to general‑purpose L1s, it emphasizes reliable settlement for bridges and DEXs over broad on‑chain complexity. Because key performance indicators (avg gas, block speed, TPS, activity) have not been independently published as of September 2025, evaluate real‑time explorer data and compare to your baseline networks when assessing throughput and costs.
