An EVM-compatible blockchain built by the KuCoin community, KCC offers fast, low-cost transactions using KCS gas, powering DeFi and dApps across the KuCoin ecosystem.
KCC (KuCoin Community Chain) is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet using KCS as the native gas token and secured by Proof-of-Staked-Authority. It targets low-cost, fast DeFi, DEX trading, payments, GameFi, and NFT applications, with typical fees under $0.01, ~3-second block times, and practical throughput in the tens to low hundreds of TPS. Developers can deploy Solidity dApps with standard Ethereum tooling and bridge assets cross-chain to tap KuCoin ecosystem liquidity.
KCC is uniquely aligned with the KuCoin/KCS ecosystem—gas is paid in KCS, on/off-ramps and liquidity benefit from KuCoin, and EVM tooling and bridges work out of the box. Versus Ethereum’s ~12s blocks and higher fees, KCC offers ~3s blocks, sub-cent gas, and 100+ TPS capacity, and typically operates with lower congestion, keeping fees and confirmations stable. This delivers predictable costs and rapid settlement for cross-chain bridging, market-making, and exchange-adjacent DeFi use cases.
KCC uses KCS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain KCS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge KCS to KCC, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select KCC as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on KCC 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 KCC 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 KCS on KCC, ensure your wallet is connected to the KCC network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of KCS to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
