An EVM-compatible blockchain prioritizing stability and predictability, Ubiq delivers low-fee smart contracts with conservative, community-driven upgrades for long-term reliability.
Ubiq is an EVM-compatible, proof‑of‑work blockchain (Ubqhash) with native currency UBQ on mainnet (chain ID 8) for deploying Solidity smart contracts, issuing tokens, and low‑cost transfers/DAOs (e.g., Escher). Performance snapshot: ~88‑second average block time, practical throughput around 4–5 TPS, and uncongested activity. Typical gas price is 1–2 gwei UBQ, so a simple transfer (~21,000 gas) costs about 0.000021–0.000042 UBQ.
Ubiq emphasizes stability and predictability—conservative, long‑term support for a mature EVM, Flux difficulty targeting ~88‑second blocks to limit reorgs on lower hashpower, and no ICO history—making it a steady L1 option. Compared with more congested L1s, UBQ gas fees are typically near 1 gwei and blocks are rarely full, keeping costs consistently low even during activity spikes, with throughput around 4–5 TPS. Community governance via Escher and maintained tooling (Gubiq client, standard ERCs) further differentiate Ubiq for deployments that prioritize deterministic gas and low operational overhead.
Ubiq uses UBQ as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain UBQ by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge UBQ to Ubiq, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Ubiq as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Ubiq 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 Ubiq 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 UBQ on Ubiq, ensure your wallet is connected to the Ubiq network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of UBQ to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
