Reactive is a mainnet blockchain with the native currency REACT, built to settle cross-chain transfers and message passing for the Reactive bridge. Primary use cases include bridging assets between chains, paying gas in REACT for bridge transactions, and incentivizing relayers to secure and accelerate cross-chain activity. For performance visibility, monitor average gas cost, block time, TPS, and active addresses on the official block explorer to compare with other networks in real time.
Unlike general-purpose L1s, Reactive concentrates on cross-chain bridging, aligning protocol rules and fee mechanics around low-latency transfers and message passing. This specialization aims to minimize confirmation overhead and unify fee payment in REACT across supported routes, improving end-to-end bridge costs and UX versus multi-hop alternatives. As of Sep 2025, audited benchmarks (average gas fees, block speed, TPS, active addresses) are not publicly standardized; use the official explorer to compare live metrics against peers.
Reactive uses REACT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain REACT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge REACT to Reactive, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Reactive as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Reactive 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 Reactive 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 REACT on Reactive, ensure your wallet is connected to the Reactive network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of REACT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
