Built to outlast.

Cockroach Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 with single-block finality, predictable fees and a monetary policy its holders control. Ship Solidity apps with the tools you already use, secured by COCKROACH stakers.

By the numbers

Rules you can count on.

FINALITY
1 block

About five seconds from signing to final. No reorgs and no waiting for confirmations.

FEE BURN
50%

of every gas fee destroyed

EXECUTION
EVM

Solidity, MetaMask and Hardhat work as-is

VALIDATOR SET
100 + 100

active validators, plus standby nodes that earn while online

HARD CAP
3%

maximum monthly reward, enforced in code

INTEROP
IBC

move assets to and from other Cosmos chains

Why Cockroach

A chain designed for the long run.

01

Familiar for builders

Full EVM support for Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry and ethers.js. Deploy existing contracts without rewriting a line.

02

Final in one block

CometBFT finalizes each block the moment it is committed. No reorgs, no waiting for confirmations, no ambiguity for exchanges or apps.

03

Owned by its holders

Rewards, fees and burn rate change only by on-chain vote, inside limits written into the protocol itself.

Utility

What you can build
on Cockroach.

Full EVM support, one-block finality and native IBC cover the use cases people build blockchains for.

DeFi

Swaps, lending and vaults written in Solidity, settled final in one block.

DEXLending

Payments

Send and receive in about five seconds, with fees that stay predictable.

TransfersMerchants

Tokenization

Issue ERC-20 tokens for stablecoins, real-world assets or loyalty points.

RWAStablecoins

NFTs and gaming

Mint collectibles and in-game items without fees that swing with demand.

ERC-721ERC-1155

DAOs

Run treasuries and on-chain votes, and call the governance module from a contract.

TreasuryVoting

Cross-chain apps

Move assets to and from other Cosmos chains natively over IBC.

IBCBridges

Staking products

Build delegation dashboards and staking tools on the staking precompile.

PrecompileRewards

Identity and records

Anchor certificates, credentials and proofs on-chain that anyone can verify.

Architecture

Ethereum on top. Cosmos underneath.

Applications speak EVM. Staking, governance and the burn run as native Cosmos SDK modules, reachable from Solidity through precompiled contracts. Consensus is CometBFT, and assets move to other chains over IBC.

Life of a transaction

From signature to settlement.

Sign

You sign with MetaMask, Keplr or any EVM wallet. One key controls both your 0x and cockroach1 address.

Protocol parameters, adjustable by governance. Not a guaranteed return. Risk disclosure

Monetary policy

A monetary policy you can read in one minute.

Monthly staking reward by year · hover a bar %/month
Y1 · 2.0Y8 · 1.3Y16+ · 0.5

Disinflation by design

The reward steps down 0.1% a month every year, with no compounding, until it settles at a 0.5% monthly floor.

Hard limits in code

Governance can raise or lower the rate at any time. It can never exceed 3% a month, whatever a vote says.

A burn on every block

Half of all gas fees is destroyed before rewards are paid. A public burn address removes tokens from buybacks permanently.

The COCKROACH token

Gas. Stake. Vote.

COCKROACH pays for every transaction, secures the chain through staking and carries the vote on every protocol change.

Governance

Every rule is on the table.

Propose

Any holder can table a change to rewards, fees, burn share or validator rules with a deposit.

Vote

Voting power follows stake. Delegators can override their validator's vote on any proposal.

Protect

Expedited one-day votes can freeze addresses tied to exploits, keeping the community's funds safe.

Roadmap

From devnet to mainnet.

PHASE 1 · NOW

Devnet

Core modules built and tested on a multi-node network.

PHASE 2

Public testnet

External validators, faucet, explorers and live governance.

PHASE 3

Security audit

Independent review of all custom chain code and genesis.

PHASE 4

Mainnet

Genesis, public sale at $10.00 and exchange listing. Coming soon

Be there from block one.

Run a validator on the public testnet and help shape mainnet.
