Yes. c8ntinuum runs standard EVM bytecode and exposes Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC endpoints. Standard tools such as Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, MetaMask, and ethers.js can connect with the published network values.
c8ntinuum is a universal interoperability solution with a forward-compatible EVM. It provides trust-minimized cross-chain messaging via light clients and zk proofs, exposes advanced cryptographic primitives (zk verification, post-quantum signatures, Ed25519 signature verification) as precompiles, and gives Solidity contracts direct access to Cosmos SDK modules.
CTM — used for gas fees, staking, and governance. Native CTM uses 18-decimal precision (like ETH).
8 (EVM chain ID). There is also a Cosmos chain ID string used for IBC and consensus: c8ntinuum_8-1 on mainnet.
eth_secp256k1 — the same curve as Ethereum. Your Ethereum wallet derives the same address on c8ntinuum.
c8ntinuum uses standard CometBFT consensus with 1-block finality. Expected block time is 4s.
Yes. c8ntinuum uses IBC for trust-minimized cross-chain communication. The ICS02 and ICS20 precompiles expose IBC functionality directly to Solidity.
c8ntinuum provides a curated set of precompiles organized into five families: cross-chain verification (IBC, zkVM), Cosmos modules (bank, staking, governance), cryptography (Ed25519, P-256, Schnorr, FROST, VRF, post-quantum), hashing (SHA-3, BLAKE2b, Poseidon), and data handling (JSON, address compression). See Modules & Precompiles.
13 widely-used contracts are available at genesis: Multicall3, Permit2, WETH9, Safe singleton factory, CreateX, and more. See Pre-deployed Contracts.
The ctmd node source, licensed under Apache 2.0, will be published in a public GitHub repository; the repository is to be announced. c8ntinuum is based on and extends Cosmos EVM. Until then, use the release binaries listed in resources.c8ntinuum.io/metadata.json.
