Nibiru Chain is a breakthrough L1 blockchain and smart contract ecosystem providing superior throughput and unparalleled security. Nibiru aims to be the most developer-friendly and user-friendly smart contract ecosystem, leading the charge toward mainstream Web3 adoption by innovating at each layer of the stack: dApp development, infrastructure, consensus, a comprehensive developer toolkit, and value accrual.

Since emerging from stealth mode in late 2022, dozens of projects have begun building on Nibiru across sectors such as DeFi, gaming, real-world assets, NFTs, developer tools, and bridges—each sharing the common mission of making interactions with digital assets fast, secure, and user-friendly for everyone.

Core Token Utility: The staking and utility token of Nibiru Chain is called ‘NIBI’. This token plays a pivotal role in powering the network’s Proof-of-Stake consensus and decentralized governance, a process by which NIBI stakers can decide on and bring about changes in the network. Additionally, NIBI is utilized to secure the network and pay for computation in the form of gas fees, essential for facilitating the creation of new blocks on the chain.

“Dev Gas” Royalty Mechanism: Imagine protocols like Uniswap or Aave earning half of the ETH expended on them. This distinctive feature attracts developers to Nibiru, where builders automatically earn half of the NIBI gas expended on their smart contracts, encouraging network growth and sustained development of the ecosystem.

Community-Centric Token Distribution: Taking inspiration from the most successful non-linear release schedules in Web3, the NIBI token supply is engineered to foster long-term stability and community engagement. The majority of the NIBI token supply is allocated to the community, including stakers, builders, liquidity providers, and ecosystem grants.

Legend: Circulating Supply Distribution at Launch

• Retroactive ITN Reward: One of the earliest community initiatives was Nibiru’s pre-launch incentivized testnet. This chain saw the deployment and execution of more than 30,000 smart contracts and 135 million transactions.
• Centralized Exchange (CEX) Liquidity: NIBI has secured primary listing approval on 3 prominent CEXs.
• Support for Ecosystem Grants: The Nibiru team provides development and financial support for key projects launching on Nibiru mainnet.
• Gamified Engagement Airdrop: A campaign with Key Opinion Leaders and the broader Nibiru community to spread awareness about the protocol.

1. Outstanding Performance: Performance-wise, Nibiru excels. The network can process 40,000 transactions per second, has instant finality and 1.4 second block times even with a maximum-capacity, decentralized validator set. Nibiru empowers developers to seamlessly build a future of decentralized applications.
2. Parallel Optimistic Execution: A fundamental limitation in scaling many blockchains today is the inefficiency of sequentially executing transactions. Nibiru Chain addresses this limitation by introducing support for parallel, or optimistic, execution allowing multiple independent transactions to be processed simultaneously.
3. Unrivaled Security: Smart contracts in Nibiru's primary execution engine (Wasm) are impervious to the vast majority of common attack vectors, such as reentrancy, arithmetic overflow/underflow, short address attacks, and many others that plague the Web3 landscape. Nibiru’s resilient security enables high-reliability apps to be brought to life more rapidly and scale to serve the growing blockchain user base.
4. Comprehensive Developer Toolkit:
   1. Web3 Software Development Kits (SDKs) in several modern programming languages like TypeScript, Golang, Python, and Rust.
   2. Nibi-Indexer: A user-centric tool that offers transparent blockchain data for analyzing smart contracts and transactions via GraphQL. Nibi-Indexer is an indispensable resource for developers, providing reliable on-chain data for trust and verification.
   3. Nibi-Oracle: Presenting a native oracle solution, Nibi-Oracle allows validator operators to actively participate in oracle consensus voting to integrate off-chain data onto the blockchain with high fidelity. [Learn more].
   4. Native EVM-compatibility: Builders on Nibiru have the flexibility to choose their execution environment, opting for either the security and performance of Wasm or the convenience of the EVM. Scheduled for release in 2024, native EVM support will open the door for the global community of EVM developers to leverage familiar, existing tools and programming languages.
5. Nibiru boasts an open ecosystem featuring a collection of dApps, combining various functions such as exchanges, stablecoins, data indexers, and smart contract royalties into one unified system. The 'Super App' aims to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for everyone, simplifying blockchain development.
