Kroma is an Ethereum Layer 2 mainnet that uses ETH as its native gas and provides EVM‑equivalent execution for seamless deployment of existing Ethereum dapps. It targets high‑throughput consumer applications—on‑chain gaming, NFTs, payments, and DeFi—where low fees and fast confirmations are critical, and it integrates with major cross‑chain bridges for easy asset movement.
Kroma stands out with ETH‑native gas, EVM‑equivalent tooling, and performance tuned for gaming‑grade latency and microtransactions. Public explorers typically show fast block times (around a few seconds), low average L2 gas for simple transfers (often cents), and double‑digit TPS with higher burst capacity, with activity trending upward; see https://kroma.network for live metrics. Secured by Ethereum while keeping fees predictable, Kroma offers quick finality and broad wallet/tooling compatibility compared to many alternative L1s and L2s.
Kroma 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 Kroma, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Kroma as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
