Energi (NRG) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 mainnet that pairs smart contracts with decentralized governance and a self-funding treasury. It enables low-fee DeFi, NFTs, payments, and cross-chain bridging while staying compatible with Ethereum tools (MetaMask, Solidity). Stakers and masternodes secure the network and earn NRG for participation.
Energi differentiates itself with a built-in treasury and on-chain governance that continuously fund development, plus a dedicated Energi Defense Team focused on user protection—features uncommon among EVM chains. Performance is optimized for low costs and fast finality: gas typically ~1 gwei (often under $0.01 per transfer), single-digit-second block times, and capacity in the hundreds of TPS with low congestion versus Ethereum L1. This combination of low-cost throughput, proactive security, and EVM compatibility makes Energi a strong choice for dApps and cross-chain bridging.
Energi uses NRG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain NRG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge NRG to Energi, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Energi as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Energi 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 Energi 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 NRG on Energi, ensure your wallet is connected to the Energi network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of NRG to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
