Dragonfly (Hexapod) is the Hexapod Network mainnet secured by the DFLY token, purpose-built as a settlement and routing layer for cross-chain asset transfers and message passing. Primary use cases include low-friction bridging between supported chains, cross-chain swaps and liquidity routing for dApps, and paying transaction fees in DFLY on a bridge-native chain. Key performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on-chain activity) are not publicly verifiable as of Sep 2025; for live figures, consult the official site/explorer at https://hexapod.network.
Unlike general-purpose L1/L2 networks that rely on external bridge contracts, Dragonfly (Hexapod) is a bridge-native mainnet where cross-chain messaging and settlement are first-class, reducing trust fragmentation and simplifying canonical asset management. It unifies fee economics around the DFLY token and provides a single routing domain for cross-chain swaps, improving UX and liquidity efficiency across ecosystems. For apples-to-apples comparisons (avg gas fees, block time, TPS, activity), refer to official telemetry, as independent benchmark data was not available at the time of writing.
