What’s Familiar
If you’ve used Ethereum or any EVM chain, you already know how to use c8ntinuum:- Same wallets — MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect, and other Ethereum wallets work out of the box
- Same addresses — Your
0x...address works on c8ntinuum - Same tokens — ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens all work identically
- Same dApps — Applications built for Ethereum deploy and run unchanged
What’s Different
| Feature | On Ethereum | On c8ntinuum |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction speed | Ethereum block cadence | Expected block time is 4s |
| Finality | Multiple confirmations are common | 1-block finality under standard CometBFT |
| Gas costs | ETH-denominated gas | CTM-denominated gas |
| Cross-chain | Requires bridges with trusted intermediaries | Trust-minimized via light clients and zk proofs |
| Reorganizations | Possible | Governed by CometBFT consensus finality |
