GIWA Chain at a glance

An Ethereum Layer 2 that uses ETH

A Layer 2 processes transactions on its own chain and builds on Ethereum. On GIWA Chain, gas is paid in ETH and addresses look the same as on Ethereum (0x…). The same address exists on every network, but only funds sent on the GIWA network arrive on GIWA.

GIWA Sepolia testnet

GIWA Sepolia is GIWA Chain's testnet (chain ID 91342). Test ETH has no real value and comes from the faucet listed in the official GIWA documentation. GiwaTerminal currently runs on GIWA Sepolia, so you can try every feature without risking real funds.

Why memecoins and launchpads are appearing on GIWA Chain

Layer 2 networks are designed to make transactions cheaper than on Ethereum itself, which makes creating and trading small tokens practical. Launchpads let anyone launch a token in a few clicks, so new GIWA Chain tokens appear all the time. See GIWA Chain launchpads explained.
