A mainnet blockchain (Chain ID 18122) with STN native currency, purpose-built for digital trade workflows and settlement within the Smart Trade Networks ecosystem.
Smart Trade Networks (STN) is a public mainnet blockchain with STN as its native gas currency, designed to move value and data across chains for trade and settlement. Primary use cases include cross-chain asset bridging, on-chain payments/remittances, liquidity routing for DEXs, and tokenized trade-finance assets. As of Sep 2025, audited benchmarks for average gas cost, block speed/finality, TPS, and network activity are not publicly listed—verify current figures on https://www.smarttradenetworks.com or the official explorer before comparing networks.
STN is differentiated by its mainnet focus on cross-chain trade flows and native interoperability tooling, using the STN token for gas and economic alignment to streamline bridging and settlement. Unlike general-purpose L1s, it prioritizes seamless asset movement across ecosystems to simplify bridge UX and reduce operational overhead for dApps. For apples-to-apples comparisons, check the latest published metrics (avg gas cost, block speed/finality, TPS throughput, and active addresses/transactions) on the official site, as up-to-date numbers were not publicly available at the time of writing.
