Shine Chain is a production Layer-1 mainnet with the native SC20 currency, purpose-built to power secure cross-chain transfers and liquidity routing for dApps, wallets, and exchanges. Core use cases include asset bridging, cross-chain swaps, and on-chain payments/settlement in SC20 for predictable fees. For up-to-date performance benchmarks, see the official metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on-chain activity) at https://shinechain.tech to compare costs and throughput against other networks.
Shine Chain is uniquely focused on interoperability-first design, offering bridge-native tooling and APIs that streamline cross-chain transfers and reduce reliance on external middleware. Its SC20-based gas model and mainnet-grade infrastructure are optimized for predictable transaction costs and fast confirmations across routing paths. The network publishes real-time metrics—average gas fees, block time, TPS, and activity—so developers can objectively evaluate price/performance versus Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Solana.
Shine Chain uses SC20 as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SC20 by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge SC20 to Shine Chain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Shine Chain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Shine Chain 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 Shine Chain 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 SC20 on Shine Chain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Shine Chain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of SC20 to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
