Is c8ntinuum EVM-compatible?
Is c8ntinuum EVM-compatible?
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.
What makes c8ntinuum different from other EVM chains?
What makes c8ntinuum different from other EVM chains?
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, Solana interop) as precompiles, and gives Solidity contracts direct access to Cosmos SDK modules.
What is the native token?
What is the native token?
CTM — used for gas fees, staking, and governance. It uses 18-decimal precision (like ETH).
What is the chain ID?
What is the chain ID?
2184 (EVM chain ID). There is also a Cosmos chain ID string used for IBC and consensus.
What key type does c8ntinuum use?
What key type does c8ntinuum use?
eth_secp256k1 — the same curve as Ethereum. Your Ethereum wallet derives the same address on c8ntinuum.How fast is finality?
How fast is finality?
c8ntinuum uses standard CometBFT consensus with 1-block finality. Expected block time is 4s.
Does c8ntinuum support IBC?
Does c8ntinuum support IBC?
Yes. c8ntinuum uses IBC for trust-minimized cross-chain communication. The ICS02 and ICS20 precompiles expose IBC functionality directly to Solidity.
What precompiles are available?
What precompiles are available?
c8ntinuum provides a curated set of precompiles organized into five families: cross-chain verification (IBC, Solana, 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.
What pre-deployed contracts are available?
What pre-deployed contracts are available?
12 widely-used contracts are available at genesis: Multicall3, Permit2, WETH9, Safe Factory, CreateX, and more. See Pre-deployed Contracts.
Is c8ntinuum open source?
Is c8ntinuum open source?
Yes. c8ntinuum is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. It is based on and extends Cosmos EVM.
