Hela Official Runtime is the mainnet execution environment by Hela Labs that settles cross‑chain liquidity and messaging with HLUSD as the native gas currency. Primary use cases include bridging and swaps, dollar‑denominated payments, and DeFi/merchant settlement where predictable fees matter. Live metrics (average gas cost in HLUSD, block time, TPS, and network activity) are available via the Hela explorer linked from https://helalabs.com.
Hela Official Runtime is unique for using HLUSD as the native gas token, removing fee volatility and improving UX versus ETH- or SOL‑denominated networks. It is purpose‑built for bridge‑first workflows with native cross‑chain hooks and liquidity routing on mainnet. For comparison, check the public dashboard for real‑time block speed, TPS, average gas costs, and activity—Hela emphasizes low, predictable fees and fast finality relative to general‑purpose L1s.
