A mainnet blockchain for the Polytopia ecosystem, Panarchy (Chain ID 2013) uses GAS as its native currency for player-owned assets and on-chain governance.
Panarchy is a mainnet blockchain whose native fee token is GAS, designed as a low-cost settlement layer for cross-chain bridges and applications. Common use cases include routing assets between networks, low-fee payments and micropayments, and anchoring application state for DeFi and NFTs. As of Sep 2025, audited performance metrics (average gas cost, block time, TPS, active users) are not publicly standardized—verify current figures on the official explorer at polytopia.org before comparing to other chains.
Panarchy stands out with a bridge-first design and predictable GAS-based fees, making it attractive for interoperability-focused dApps and liquidity routes. Unlike general-purpose L1s that optimize purely for peak TPS, Panarchy prioritizes reliable cross-chain connectivity and low-fee settlement for consistent user costs. Because official benchmarks (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, network activity) are not formally published, teams should validate real-time metrics on the explorer to benchmark against alternatives.
Panarchy uses GAS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GAS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge GAS to Panarchy, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Panarchy as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
