What is KriptoNyx
KriptoNyx is an EVM-compatible blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK, together with the applications that run on it: a block explorer, a set of HTTP and real-time APIs, an automated market maker, a cross-chain bridge, an ICO launchpad and on-chain governance.
Because the chain is EVM-compatible, everything you already know about building on Ethereum applies. Contracts are Solidity, addresses are 0x…, and ethers.js, viem, web3.js, MetaMask, Hardhat and Foundry all work without modification.
What the platform includes
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chain | A Tendermint proof-of-stake chain with an EVM execution layer |
| Block explorer | Browse blocks, transactions, addresses, tokens and verified contracts |
| APIs | Five HTTP APIs covering chain data, managed wallets, trading, the bridge and the launchpad |
| Real-time | WebSocket channels and signed, retried webhooks |
| DEX and AMM | A constant-product AMM with LP tokens and yield farming |
| Bridge | Asset transfers between KriptoNyx and six external networks |
| ICO launchpad | Token creation, presales, liquidity locking |
| Governance | Staking, validator delegation and proposal voting |
Current environment
The platform runs on a public testnet. There is no mainnet yet; it follows once testnet validation is complete.
| Chain ID | kriptonyx_3009-1 |
| EVM chain ID | 3009 |
| Native token | KNYX |
| Explorer | explorer.testnet.kriptonyx.com |
| RPC | https://rpc.testnet.kriptonyx.com |
Test funds are free from the faucet, and the minimum gas price is zero, so experimenting costs nothing.
