An EVM-compatible blockchain for smart contracts and dApps, EgonCoin features Chain ID 271, EGON as its native currency, and the egonscan.com explorer.
EgonCoin (EGON) is the native currency of the Egon mainnet, an EVM-compatible blockchain used to pay transaction (gas) fees and settle on-chain operations. Core use cases include low-cost DeFi, payments, NFTs, gaming, and cross-chain transfers; EgonScan (egonscan.com) publishes real-time performance metrics—average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and active addresses—for data-driven comparison with other networks.
EgonCoin is unique for combining EVM compatibility with fast finality and consistently low fees, enabling Solidity apps to deploy without code changes while keeping transactions inexpensive. Compared with legacy L1s, Egon typically delivers multi-second blocks and higher effective throughput at sub-cent fees; EgonScan exposes live averages (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) to transparently benchmark Egon against Ethereum, BNB Chain, and others.
EgonCoin uses EGON as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain EGON by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge EGON to EgonCoin, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select EgonCoin as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on EgonCoin 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 EgonCoin 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.
