Facet is a mainnet blockchain purpose‑built for cross‑chain applications and bridging, with FCT as the native gas token. Its primary use cases include fast asset and message bridging, omnichain wallets and payments, cross‑chain swaps/liquidity routing, and interoperability middleware for dApps. As of Sep 2025, typical gas fees are under $0.01, blocks finalize in ~1–2 seconds, and throughput sustains hundreds of TPS with higher peaks (see the Facet explorer for live activity).
Facet is unique for its native cross‑chain messaging and liquidity‑aware routing, removing reliance on third‑party bridges and enabling one‑click, intent‑like swaps across chains. It offers gas abstraction (sponsored transactions in FCT), deterministic cross‑chain finality, and developer‑friendly tooling to build omnichain dApps. Performance‑wise, sub‑cent fees, ~1–2s block times, and sustained hundreds‑TPS throughput (as of Sep 2025) outpace many general‑purpose L1s with ~10s blocks and higher fees.
Facet uses FCT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain FCT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge FCT to Facet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Facet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Facet 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 Facet 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 FCT on Facet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Facet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of FCT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
