What the native network does
The Waves network is designed for speed and utility. It supports the creation of decentralized applications and smart contracts. The ecosystem includes several specific tools. Waves DEX is a decentralized exchange. Neutrino is a platform focused on decentralized finance. Gravity is a cross-chain and oracle network.
Waves is also interoperable with the Ethereum network. This allows the WAVES token to exist as an ERC-20 asset.
Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks
WAVES exists on its own native network and on other platforms. You must verify which network your exchange or wallet uses before making a transfer.
The verified contract addresses are:
- Ethereum: 0x7296eaA225804451a91616b29D040cAB05435f0d
- BNB Smart Chain (BEP20): 0xcbc86b26e0BD751683ecF2581B21f7cE4a224042
- Solana: 4XEjo9GZkKom3E26NQiidJLawwM9kbt76gUMDdGe1meQ
You can use the Waves explorer to check addresses and transactions.
Self-custody and withdrawal risks
Deposit and withdrawal support for the routes listed above is not verified. You should check the current status of the exchange before attempting a transfer.
Using the wrong network or a lookalike contract address can lead to permanent loss of funds. Always verify the address through official sources.
General market research from CoinMarketCap indicates security risks with some custody solutions. Specifically, a firmware flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets led to the theft of significant amounts of Bitcoin. This is a general industry concern and not a flaw in the Waves protocol itself.
