SlingShot is a mainnet blockchain from SlingshotDAO with the native SLING asset, purpose-built for secure cross-chain bridging and liquidity routing. Primary use cases include moving assets between networks, executing cross-chain swaps, and giving developers primitives for cross-chain messaging and canonical asset issuance within the SLING ecosystem.
SlingShot differentiates itself by prioritizing interoperability—delivering a purpose-built bridge layer and liquidity routing across chains with SLING as the native asset—rather than optimizing for general-purpose smart contract execution. This design focuses on fast, low-friction cross-chain transfers and developer-ready messaging to connect ecosystems. As of Sep 24, 2025, public metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on-chain activity) have not been published; monitor slingshotdao.com for the official block explorer and performance updates for head-to-head comparisons.
SlingShot uses SLING as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SLING by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge SLING to SlingShot, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select SlingShot as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on SlingShot 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 SlingShot 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.
