An EVM-compatible blockchain, Pego Network uses the PG token to deliver low-fee, fast-finality transactions and Ethereum tooling support for scalable DeFi, NFTs, and gaming.
As of September 2025, Pego Network is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet that uses PG as the native gas, enabling Solidity smart contracts with standard Ethereum tooling (MetaMask, JSON-RPC). It targets DeFi, on-chain payments and microtransactions, GameFi/NFT deployments, and cross-chain liquidity via bridges. Public explorers typically show sub-cent average gas fees, ~2–5 second block times, and capacity in the hundreds of TPS, supporting high-frequency activity.
Pego Network stands out for Ethereum parity (drop-in EVM compatibility), predictable low gas priced in PG, and fast finality suitable for real-time applications. Compared with Ethereum L1’s higher fees and slower blocks, Pego offers seconds-level block times and sub-cent fees; versus common EVM sidechains, it emphasizes straightforward bridging and operational simplicity for easy migration. As of September 2025, on-chain activity reflects low-cost transfers and rapid confirmations, making Pego Network attractive for cost-sensitive dApps.
Pego Network uses PG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain PG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge PG to Pego Network, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Pego Network as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Pego Network 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 Pego Network 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 PG on Pego Network, ensure your wallet is connected to the Pego Network network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of PG to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
