## Network Selection
### For Token Creators
When launching a token, consider:
**Network Choice Factors:**
* **Target Audience**: Where are your users?
* **Gas Costs**: Lower on L2s and alternative L1s
* **Liquidity**: Ethereum/Base have deepest liquidity
* **Speed**: Some chains offer faster finality
* **Ecosystem**: Existing DeFi protocols and communities
**Popular Choices:**
* **Base**: Low fees, Ethereum security, growing ecosystem
* **BNB Chain**: Large user base, established DeFi
* **Solana**: Fastest transactions, low costs
* **Ethereum**: Maximum security and liquidity
### For Traders
All networks are accessible through Token Layer's unified interface. You don't need to manually bridge or switch networks—Token Layer handles routing.
## Omnichain Trading
Token Layer's omnichain architecture means:
✅ Launch once, trade everywhere
✅ Unified liquidity across chains
✅ No manual bridging required
✅ Seamless cross-chain experience
✅ Single interface for all networks
## DEX Integration
Upon graduation, tokens automatically migrate to the appropriate DEX:
Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Monad, Unichain, Abstract
BNB Chain, OP BNB
Solana
Token Layer handles all DEX interactions automatically.
## Network Status
All listed networks are currently active. Network availability may change based on:
* Maintenance windows
* Protocol upgrades
* Liquidity conditions
Check the Token Layer dashboard for real-time network status and any temporary restrictions.
## Adding New Networks
Token Layer continuously evaluates and adds support for new blockchain networks. Networks are added based on:
* User demand
* Liquidity depth
* Security audits
* Technical compatibility
* Ecosystem maturity
## API Network Identifiers
When using the API, specify networks using these identifiers:
### Mainnet Chains
```json theme={null}
"ethereum" // Ethereum
"base" // Base
"arbitrum" // Arbitrum
"bnb" // BNB Chain
"op-bnb" // OP BNB
"avalanche" // Avalanche
"polygon" // Polygon
"unichain" // Unichain
"abstract" // Abstract
"monad" // Monad
"solana" // Solana
```
### Testnet Chains
```json theme={null}
"base-sepolia" // Base Sepolia
"bnb-testnet" // BNB Testnet
"solana-devnet" // Solana Devnet
```
Example API call:
```json theme={null}
{
"chainSlug": "base",
"tokenId": "token-uuid-here"
}
```
## Gas Fees by Network
Typical gas fees for token operations:
| Network | Token Creation | Trading |
| --------- | -------------- | -------------- |
| Ethereum | \$50-200 | \$10-50 |
| Base | \$0.10-1 | \$0.05-0.20 |
| Arbitrum | \$0.50-2 | \$0.10-0.50 |
| BNB Chain | \$0.50-2 | \$0.10-0.50 |
| OP BNB | \$0.01-0.10 | \$0.01-0.05 |
| Avalanche | \$1-5 | \$0.20-1 |
| Polygon | \$0.01-0.10 | \$0.01-0.05 |
| Solana | \$0.001-0.01 | \$0.0001-0.001 |
Gas fees vary based on network congestion. Values shown are approximate.
