An EVM-compatible mainnet blockchain, Ouroboro (Chain ID 1000080) uses ETH as its native currency, enabling seamless Ethereum tooling compatibility and simple wallet integration.
Ouroboro is an Ethereum-compatible mainnet that uses ETH as its native currency and powers a cross-chain bridge. Primary use cases include secure asset transfers across chains, liquidity routing for DeFi, and deploying EVM dApps with native-ETH gas and standard Ethereum tooling. Key performance aligns with Ethereum L1: block speed ~12s and base-fee-driven gas costs, with L1 TPS typically ~15–20; end-to-end bridge finality depends on the slowest connected chain and network congestion.
Ouroboro’s uniqueness comes from its ETH-native gas model on mainnet plus full EVM compatibility, enabling seamless developer tooling and predictable fees without a new token. It is purpose-built for cross-chain interoperability with a streamlined bridging flow that minimizes steps compared to multi-bridge workflows. For comparisons, track avg gas cost (follows ETH base fee), block speed (~12s), TPS (~15–20), and active addresses via on-chain analytics; bridge latency varies by the counterpart networks.
Ouroboro 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 Ouroboro, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Ouroboro as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
