EDGEN Bridging
Overview
The EDGEN token was minted on Ethereum mainnet and canonically bridged to Edgen Chain, where it serves as the native gas token. To enable seamless cross-chain functionality, LayerEdge integrates with Hyperlane, allowing EDGEN to be bridged across multiple supported blockchains.
Contract Addresses
Chain | Address |
---|---|

Binance Smart Chain | 0x0c808f0464c423d5ea4f4454fcc23b6e2ae75562 (link) |
EDGEN is the gas token of the Edgen Chain.
Technical Implementation
Architecture:
- Ethereum Mainnet: Original ERC20 token contract
- Edgen Chain: Canonically bridged as the gas token using Hyperlane
- Binance Smart Chain (BSC): Canonically bridged ERC-20 token using Hyperlane
This design ensures that EDGEN maintains its native status on the Edgen Chain, while giving users the flexibility to bridge tokens to other major blockchain networks like Ethereum and BSC. This enables participation in DeFi, liquidity provisioning, and broader ecosystem integrations.
