Gather Minerva Release Is LIVE

After continuous work & dedication, Minerva Release is now LIVE, bridging ERC20 & BEP20 networks to Gather’s native chain Layer1. Gather blockchain is backed by GTHash as its algorithm, the gas fee is fixed & extremely low, which makes it affordable & sustainable. It’s EVM compatible, so various developer communities & dApps can now easily build on top of it.

Let’s dive into the details below.

What is Gather Layer 1 blockchain?

Gather Layer 1 is pow based blockchain, customized to have a reduced and sustainable memory hardness to cater to the ever-growing, web-mining ecosystem of miners. The blockchain is backed by GTHash as its algorithm. The gas fee is fixed and extremely low which makes it affordable and sustainable, and fits well with the overall objective.

Since Gather blockchain is originally forked from Ethereum (Geth) and hence EVM compatible, one can leverage almost all the work that is done by various development communities in the areas of Smart contracts, Token assets, distributed apps, etc in order to deploy on Gather blockchain.

The primary language to write smart contracts on Gather is Solidity. Any development tools like Truffle, Remix, Hardhat can be used for the development of Smart Contracts or Dapps.
