Learn about Router

What is Router?
The Router chain is a layer 1 blockchain that leverages tendermint’s Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine.
Choosing the Right Cross-chain Framework
Router Protocol provides a host of cross-chain solutions. Go through this guide to understand which one's right for you.
The ROUTE Token
The ROUTE token is a digital asset that will serve as the primary gas and governance token on the Router chain.
