Frequently asked questions

Metal C-Chain is the EVM-compatible smart-contract layer of Metal Blockchain Mainnet that uses METAL for gas, so Solidity dApps, MetaMask, and standard Ethereum tooling work natively for DeFi, NFTs, payments, and cross-chain settlement. It targets regulated finance with identity/compliance integrations from the Metallicus ecosystem and native interoperability with Metal’s other chains. For performance, average fees for simple transfers are typically well under $0.01, blocks finalize in about 1–2 seconds, and the network is engineered for thousands of TPS capacity.

Metal C-Chain is unique for its compliance-forward design (optional KYC/KYB attestations and policy-ready integrations) combined with full EVM compatibility and low, predictable gas in METAL. Versus many EVM L1s, it delivers faster finality (~1–2s block speed), significantly lower average gas costs (<$0.01 for basic transfers), and high throughput (roughly 1,000–4,500+ TPS capacity), making it ideal for regulated DeFi and high-volume settlement. Activity benefits from native cross-chain transfers within Metal and connectivity to other EVM ecosystems via common bridges, enabling efficient liquidity movement.

Metal C-Chain uses METAL as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain METAL by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.

To bridge METAL to Metal C-Chain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Metal C-Chain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.

To build on Metal C-Chain 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 Metal C-Chain 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 METAL on Metal C-Chain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Metal C-Chain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of METAL to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
