An EVM-compatible mainnet blockchain, LaChain (chain ID 274) uses the LAC currency and enables general-purpose dApps with efficient transactions and affordable fees.
LaChain is a public mainnet blockchain whose native currency, LAC, powers transaction fees and on-chain payments. It supports general-purpose smart-contract use cases across DeFi, payments, NFTs/gaming, and enterprise workflows, and integrates with cross-chain bridges to move LAC and LaChain assets across networks. For performance comparisons, track its avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on-chain activity via its block explorer or telemetry dashboards, as these figures vary with network load.
LaChain stands out with a LAC-denominated fee market on a production mainnet and a design oriented toward seamless cross-chain interoperability, making it bridge-friendly for asset transfers. Users typically benefit from low-friction transfers and straightforward bridging supported by common wallets and cross-chain infrastructure. To quantify differences versus other chains, reference up-to-date metrics—avg gas cost (in LAC/USD), block time, sustained TPS, and daily active addresses—from the official explorer or analytics tools.
LaChain uses LAC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain LAC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge LAC to LaChain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select LaChain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on LaChain 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 LaChain 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 LAC on LaChain, ensure your wallet is connected to the LaChain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of LAC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
