Sanko is unusually opinionated about aesthetics and community. It is a reminder that chains can have a personality.

Sanko settles to Arbitrum, which in turn settles to Ethereum. Each hop adds convenience and an assumption.

Block explorers

An explorer lets you verify any transaction, address or contract on this network yourself. Learning to read one is the fastest way to stop taking anyone's word for anything.

What to be aware of

  • Security passes through two hops before reaching a layer 1, which adds assumptions.
  • Liquidity is thin compared to major networks, so exits can be more expensive than entries.
  • App specific chains depend heavily on the application continuing to exist.
  • Crypto assets are volatile. Drawdowns of seventy percent or more have happened on every network in this list, including the largest.
  • Sending to an address on the wrong network can lose funds permanently. Always send a small test amount first.
