What is Mersennet?

Mersennet is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built for speed, composability, and institutional-grade DeFi. It combines the familiarity of Ethereum's smart contract ecosystem with a native order matching engine (PrimeOrders)—enabling atomic cross-domain workflows that are impossible on traditional chains.

Why Mersennet?​

FeatureMersennet
EVM CompatibilityDeploy existing Solidity contracts without modification
Block Time~1 second for fast confirmation
Native CLOBPrimeOrders—on-chain order matching with EVM composability
ConsensusDelegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) with round-robin proposer
TokenPRIM (18 decimals, 1B max supply)
ImplementationRust-based node for reliability and performance

Key Capabilities​

  • EVM Compatibility — Use Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, and all standard Ethereum tooling. Your contracts work as-is.
  • Fast Finality — ~1 second block times with BFT consensus for quick confirmations.
  • PrimeOrders — A native central limit order book (CLOB) accessible via EVM precompile, enabling DeFi strategies that combine smart contracts with order matching in a single transaction.
  • DPoS Consensus — Delegated Proof-of-Stake with a round-robin proposer model for efficient block production.
  • 1 Billion PRIM — Fixed max supply with halving block rewards and structured tokenomics.

Built for Developers​

Mersennet is designed for builders. Whether you're deploying a simple ERC-20, building a DEX, or integrating lending protocols—the same tools and patterns you know from Ethereum apply. The network is live on testnet (Chain ID 7919) with a block explorer, faucet, and deployed infrastructure ready for development.
