An EVM-compatible blockchain mainnet using ETH for gas, Ham emphasizes seamless Ethereum wallet/tooling compatibility for consumer apps across gaming, social, and culture-driven experiences.
Ham is an Ethereum Layer 2 (mainnet) that uses ETH for gas and is optimized for consumer-scale dApps. Primary use cases include launching and trading community/meme tokens, low-cost NFT mints, gaming, social tipping/payments, and other high-frequency micro-transactions that are too expensive on Ethereum L1. With second-level confirmations and sub‑cent typical fees, it enables real-time experiences and micropayments.
Ham differentiates itself by pairing ETH-denominated gas and Ethereum security with L2 performance—~2s block times, sub‑$0.01 average fees, and headroom for hundreds+ TPS—offering a smoother UX than L1s with ~12s blocks and >$1 fees. During peak launches, activity often reaches tens of thousands of daily transactions, reflecting a creator-first focus on community tokens and social apps rather than purely general-purpose DeFi. This blend of ETH gas, fast confirmations, and meme/social-native tooling sets it apart from other networks.
Ham uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Ham, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Ham as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
