To use apps on Abstract, you need assets on Abstract. Relay routes any supported token from any chain to Abstract in a single step — no account, no KYC, settling in seconds.

What Is Abstract?

Abstract is a ZK-powered Ethereum L2 built for consumer crypto applications — games, social apps, and consumer-facing onchain experiences. It uses the ZK Stack and prioritises developer tooling for building apps that abstract away blockchain complexity for end users.

Abstract is designed for applications where the blockchain layer should be invisible to the user, with transaction costs low enough to support high-frequency interactions. Getting assets onto Abstract is the first step to using any app in its ecosystem.
