# Supported chains

> The eight chains EXC runs on, and what each one can actually do.

Solana plus seven EVM chains. Not everything works everywhere — the tables below
are the honest version.

## The chains

| Chain           | Chain ID | Currency | Explorer                                                               |

| Robinhood Chain | 4663     | ETH      | [robinhoodchain.blockscout.com](https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com) |

<Warning>
  **Fake Robinhood Chain explorers.** Sites called *robinscan*, *hoodscan* or
  *rh-scan* on `.xyz`, `.pro` and `.info` copy the Blockscout layout to phish
  wallet connections. The address above is the only one the official chain docs
  publish — check it before you connect anything.

## What works where

|                     | Solana | Ethereum | Polygon | Base | Ink | ApeChain | Abstract | Robinhood |
| ------------------- | :----: | :------: | :-----: | :--: | :-: | :------: | :------: | :-------: |
| Launch a collection |    ✅   |     ✅    |    ✅    |   ✅  |  ✅  |     ✅    |     ✅    |     ✅     |
| EXC marketplace     |    ✅   |     ✅    |    ✅    |   ✅  |  ✅  |     ✅    |     ✅    |     ✅     |

Magic Eden and Tensor are Solana-only, which is why those rows are otherwise
empty — that's how those marketplaces work, not a gap on our side.

Robinhood Chain is the newest addition and nothing is switched off for it, but
it's the least-travelled route here. Expect thinner secondary liquidity and
fewer tokens worth swapping into than on Base or Ethereum.

## Which should you launch on?

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Solana" icon="s">
    Cheapest per mint, the biggest collector base for PFP collections, and the
    only chain with three live listing sources. Handles compressed NFTs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Base" icon="b">
    The sensible EVM default. Low gas, real liquidity, OpenSea coverage, same
    contract as Ethereum.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Ethereum" icon="e">
    Much more expensive than everything else here. Worth it when your buyers are
    already on it and expect it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="ApeChain, Ink, Abstract" icon="layer-group">
    Cheap and community-specific. Good if your people are there; thin secondary
    liquidity if they aren't.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## A note on reliability

We read from several public endpoints per chain and fall through when one fails.

Two chains — Robinhood and Abstract — only have one public endpoint each, which
makes them fragile if that host goes down. If you're running a launch on either,
expect supply, eligibility and balance reads to be less resilient than they'd be
on Ethereum or Base.

<Warning>
  If we can't read whether you're eligible to mint, you'll get an error saying so —
  not a message claiming you're not on the list. An eligibility failure during a
  busy mint usually means an endpoint is struggling, not that your allowlist is
  wrong.
</Warning>
