An EVM-compatible blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK, Planq delivers mobile-first DeFi with low fees, fast finality, and IBC interoperability using PLQ.
Planq is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 built with the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint, with PLQ as the native gas, staking, and governance token. It lets developers deploy Solidity smart contracts that interoperate across Cosmos via IBC, making it well-suited for cross-chain DeFi, low-fee payments/micropayments, gaming/NFTs, and mobile-centric Web3 apps. Users typically experience sub-cent gas fees, block times of a few seconds with deterministic finality, and throughput in the hundreds of TPS—significantly cheaper and faster than Ethereum L1.
Planq uniquely combines full Ethereum tooling (Solidity, MetaMask/Hardhat) with native IBC interoperability, so assets and data can move trustlessly across Cosmos without relying on centralized bridges. Its mobile-first focus and low, predictable fees deliver seconds-level finality and high throughput, enabling real-time dApps and microtransactions. Compared with many EVM L1s, Planq offers faster blocks, lower average gas costs, and out-of-the-box cross-chain connectivity via IBC.
Planq uses PLQ as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain PLQ by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge PLQ to Planq, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Planq as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Planq 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 Planq 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 PLQ on Planq, ensure your wallet is connected to the Planq network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of PLQ to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
