An EVM-compatible mainnet blockchain with Chain ID 1280 that offers low-cost, fast-finality transactions for dApps and DeFi, using HO as its native currency.
HALO is a production mainnet blockchain with HO as its native gas currency, built for low-cost, fast-finality transactions and seamless cross‑chain transfers via its bridge ecosystem. Core use cases include HO-denominated payments, DeFi (swaps/liquidity/lending), NFT and gaming drops, and moving assets between networks through the bridge. Performance snapshot: average gas costs are low (paid in HO) with confirmations in seconds; check live TPS, block speed, and activity on https://halo.land/#/ before transferring assets.
HALO stands out for native cross-chain usability, predictable HO gas pricing, and seconds‑level confirmations, making bridging and on‑chain actions faster and cheaper than on many general‑purpose networks. The ecosystem emphasizes streamlined wallet/bridge UX and stable mainnet operations, targeting high throughput for consumer dApps. For comparison, review live metrics—avg gas cost (HO), block speed (seconds‑level), TPS, and daily activity—on the official site/explorer as they are updated frequently.
HALO uses HO as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain HO by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge HO to HALO, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select HALO as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on HALO 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 HALO 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 HO on HALO, ensure your wallet is connected to the HALO network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of HO to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
