An EVM-compatible mainnet blockchain, RACE uses ETH for gas (Chain ID 6805) and emphasizes Ethereum tooling compatibility for deploying scalable, cost-efficient decentralized applications.
RACE is a mainnet blockchain that uses ETH as its native gas, designed to make cross-chain bridging and app deployment seamless for Ethereum users. Primary use cases include moving assets and messages between Ethereum and RACE with no gas‑token swaps, deploying DeFi/NFT/gaming apps with ETH‑denominated fees, and routing cross‑chain liquidity. Live metrics such as average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity vary; check the official explorer linked at race.foundation for current numbers when comparing performance.
RACE is unique in that it is ETH‑native on mainnet, so users pay fees directly in ETH, eliminating friction seen on chains with separate gas tokens and simplifying bridge UX. It prioritizes Ethereum‑centric tooling and routes for fast liquidity movement and straightforward dApp migration. For apples‑to‑apples comparisons, monitor average gas (in ETH), block speed/finality, observed TPS, and daily active addresses on the official explorer, as public benchmarks can change over time.
RACE 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 RACE, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select RACE as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on RACE 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 RACE 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 ETH on RACE, ensure your wallet is connected to the RACE network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
