About SKALE

关于SKALE

SKALE is a network of elastic blockchain networks. Each SKALE Chain is an independent EVM-compatible chain with its own validators.
SKALE是由弹性区块链网络组成的网络。每个SKALE Chain都是独立的EVM兼容链，拥有专属的验证节点。

Zero Gas Fee Chains (sFUEL)

零Gas费链（sFUEL）

Uses sFUEL - valueless gas token. Users pay ~0, validators stake SKL to cover costs.

Key Concepts

核心概念

  • sFUEL: Valueless gas token for EVM compatibility
  • Compute Credits: Prepaid compute units on SKALE Base
  • Validator Nodes: 3t+1 nodes secure each chain
  • Message Proxy: Cross-chain messaging via IMA
  • sFUEL: 为实现EVM兼容设计的无价值Gas代币
  • Compute Credits: SKALE Base上的预付费计算单元
  • Validator Nodes: 3t+1个节点为每条链提供安全保障
  • Message Proxy: 通过IMA实现跨链消息传递

Architecture

架构特点

  • Elastic: Chains can scale resources dynamically
  • Independent: Each chain has its own validators
  • EVM-Compatible: Works with standard Ethereum tooling
  • 弹性: 链可动态扩展资源
  • 独立性: 每条链拥有专属验证节点
  • EVM兼容: 可对接标准以太坊工具栈

When to Use SKALE

适用场景

  • High-frequency transactions (zero/low fees)
  • Gaming and NFT apps (no gas per transaction)
  • AI agents with micropayments (x402)
  • Privacy-sensitive apps (BITE Protocol)
  • Building where fees would be a bottleneck
  • 高频交易场景（零/低手续费）
  • 游戏和NFT应用（无逐笔Gas费）
  • 涉及微支付的AI Agent（x402）
  • 隐私敏感型应用（BITE Protocol）
  • 手续费会成为业务瓶颈的开发场景
