Genesys is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet (chain ID 16507) that uses GSYS as its native currency, optimized for fast, low-cost settlement. It supports DeFi, gaming, and NFT applications and is commonly used in cross-chain bridges, leveraging standard Ethereum tooling (Solidity, MetaMask, RPC) for easy deployment and asset transfers.
Genesys emphasizes performance and cost efficiency: blocks finalize in a few seconds, gas prices are typically single-digit gwei (a simple transfer is ~21,000 gas), and throughput can reach hundreds of TPS, enabling micro-payments and high-frequency trading. Compared with Ethereum (~12s blocks and higher fees), Genesys delivers cheaper transactions, faster settlement, and growing on-chain activity visible on its public explorer.
Genesys uses GSYS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GSYS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge GSYS to Genesys, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Genesys as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
