HashKey Chain is an Ethereum-compatible network created by HashKey Group, a company known for its regulated digital asset business. It is generally described as a layer-2 chain built on the OP Stack. Transactions are processed on the layer-2 network and the results are settled back to Ethereum. Because it is EVM-compatible, standard Ethereum wallets and smart contracts work with it.
The network's gas token is HSK, which pays transaction fees. Fees on a layer-2 chain are usually lower than on Ethereum mainnet, though they move with demand. Our data has no TVL or token price figure for this chain, so check current numbers from a live source before making decisions.
The five dApps we list here are mostly multichain products, not apps built only for HashKey Chain. Gate is a centralized exchange offering spot, futures and earn products. Chainlink CCIP handles cross-chain messaging and token transfers for developers and token issuers. DeSyn Basis Trading offers pool-based yield strategies, and Pell Network focuses on restaking Bitcoin and BTC liquid staking tokens. The mix leans toward exchange access, cross-chain infrastructure and Bitcoin-focused yield, much of it aimed at experienced users.

HashKey Chain FAQs
What is HashKey Chain?
HashKey Chain is an Ethereum-compatible blockchain from HashKey Group, a company in the digital asset business. It is generally described as a layer-2 network built with the OP Stack that settles to Ethereum. It aims to connect regulated finance with on-chain applications.
Is HashKey Chain EVM compatible?
Yes, it is EVM-compatible, so Ethereum wallets and Solidity smart contracts work with it. Developers can reuse familiar tooling. Users add the network to a compatible wallet and pay gas fees in the chain's native token.
What token do I need for fees on HashKey Chain?
Gas is paid in HSK, the network's native token. Our data does not include a price or market figure for it here, so check a current source before you transact. Fees on layer-2 networks are generally lower than on Ethereum mainnet, but they vary with network use.
Which dApps are available on HashKey Chain?
We list 5 dApps for this chain. They include Gate, Chainlink CCIP, DeSyn Basis Trading and Pell Network. Most of them operate on many chains, so HashKey Chain is one of several networks they support.
Is HashKey Chain safe to use?
Not by default. Each dApp runs its own smart contracts and carries its own risks, and a chain's regulatory background does not guarantee that any one application is safe. Read each review, check how a protocol handles audits and custody, and only commit money you can afford to lose.
Is HashKey Chain suitable for beginners?
Several of the listed products are for experienced users, such as basis trading and BTC restaking. Cross-chain bridges and messaging add technical risk. If you are new, start with small amounts and learn how wallets, gas and bridging work first.
What is the largest dApp on HashKey Chain by TVL?
Gate is the largest dApp on HashKey Chain by total value locked, with $5.84B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by CCIP ($1.85B) and DeSyn Basis Trading ($1.68M). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
