An EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2, Redstone is Arbitrum Nitro–based and optimized for fully onchain games with sub-second confirmations, high throughput, and ultra-low fees.
Redstone is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) mainnet that uses ETH as gas and is optimized for real‑time, high‑throughput apps such as onchain games, social, and low‑latency DeFi. Reported 2025 metrics show sub‑second block times (~250–500 ms), very low fees (<$0.005 for simple transfers; often <$0.02 for swaps), and sustained hundreds of TPS with burst capacity into the thousands—well‑suited for fast, composable gameplay and microtransactions.
Redstone stands out by prioritizing real‑time UX—sub‑second blocks, high TPS, and consistently low gas via blob‑based data availability (EIP‑4844)—while remaining fully EVM‑equivalent and secured by Ethereum, so existing wallets, tooling, and liquidity work out‑of‑the‑box. Compared with other L2s, activity during peak periods has reached hundreds of thousands to millions of daily transactions on public explorers, highlighting its focus on high‑engagement onchain gaming and interactive applications.
Redstone 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 Redstone, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Redstone as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
