What the native network does

NERO is EVM-compatible. It uses a multidimensional fee system called Blockspace 2.0. This system decouples blockspace pricing from protocol governance. It allows developers to set their own gas fee parameters, including the pricing method and the currency used for fees.

The network uses a Paymaster architecture. This allows developers to let users pay transaction fees in stablecoins or other altcoins. Some applications may choose to subsidize these fees entirely. While users can pay in various tokens, the final settlement and validator compensation are always paid in the NERO token.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

Users should use the NERO Chain explorer to check addresses and transactions. You can find deeper technical details in the official documentation.

Verify the specific withdrawal network supported by your exchange before moving funds. NERO is not listed as a token on other platforms in our database.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the routes listed above. You must check the exchange interface to confirm if these functions are active.

Exchange availability and KYC requirements vary by country. Do not assume that every exchange supports the same network or has the same withdrawal limits.
