A scalable Layer 1 blockchain featuring a layered multi-chain architecture with hierarchical sharding and native cross-chain routing for high throughput and low-cost transactions.
Thinkium Chain 1 is the mainnet root chain of the Thinkium network (native token: TKM), serving as the settlement and coordination layer for a hierarchical, EVM-compatible multi-chain ecosystem. Primary use cases include low-fee DeFi and payments on Chain 1, anchoring application-specific chains, and enabling seamless cross-chain asset transfers and contract calls. Performance snapshot (commonly reported): block times in the low-seconds range, average transfer fees under $0.01 (often <$0.001), and aggregate throughput scaling to 10,000+ TPS across parallel chains; check the official explorer for live gas, TPS, and activity.
Thinkium is unique for its hierarchical multi-chain architecture where Chain 1 provides shared security/finality and native inter-chain messaging, allowing many parallel chains to scale without fragmenting tooling (fully EVM-compatible). This design delivers very low gas and fast confirmations across chains while preserving cross-chain composability for omnichain dApps. In practice, users see low-second blocks and sub-cent fees with high aggregate TPS, but exact metrics vary by chain group and time; verify current numbers on the explorer.
Thinkium Chain 1 uses TKM as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TKM by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge TKM to Thinkium Chain 1, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Thinkium Chain 1 as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
