Olive Network Review 2026: Gasless Layer 3 With Points Airdrop

Olive Network is a small DeFi project that says it is a universal aggregated liquidity layer across Ethereum layer 1 and layer 2 networks, with gasless transactions meant to onboard new users. Other listings describe it as an EVM-compatible Ethereum layer 3 chain with native ETH staking.

It is tracked on Ethereum and Arbitrum and has been listed since April 2024. Total value locked is around $96,000, which is very small. Two audits are listed against it, though the auditors are not named in the material reviewed.

The project runs a points program, and a September 2025 write-up says it confirmed an OLIVE token and an airdrop for users who collect points. A company directory lists a Dubai headquarters and a team of 10 to 50 people. The homepage could not be reviewed, so product details rest on short descriptions from listings.

Olive Network describes itself as an aggregated liquidity layer that sits across Ethereum layer 1 and multiple layer 2 networks. The idea is that liquidity from different chains can be reached through one layer, so users do not have to move assets between chains by hand.

Other listings frame it as an Ethereum layer 3 chain: a network that settles on a layer 2, which in turn settles on Ethereum. It is described as EVM compatible, so standard Ethereum tools and contracts should work, and as built with native ETH staking.

The gasless element means the user does not pay network gas in the usual way. The project does not publish how this is funded in the sources reviewed. Users who deposit liquidity or interact with the app can collect Olive points, which the project has said will count toward a planned OLIVE token airdrop.

Olive Network does not publish a fee schedule in the material reviewed. It advertises gasless transactions, but does not say who covers the underlying network costs or whether swap, bridging or protocol fees apply.

Users should check the app and official documentation for any charges before moving funds. Fees tied to the points program or a future token have not been stated.

Two audits are listed for the project, but the auditors, scope and findings are not named in the material reviewed. Users should read any published reports. A listed audit does not guarantee that contracts are free of bugs.

With only about $96,000 locked, the protocol is early-stage and high risk. A layer 3 or cross-chain design adds trust in bridges, sequencers and operators, and the project does not publish details of these here. The project's regulatory status, custody model and any past incidents are not stated. Because it uses points and a possible airdrop, expect impersonation attempts, and only use links from verified official channels.

Olive Network is for DeFi users who farm points and early-stage protocols, and who are willing to read documentation and accept small-protocol risk. It is not a fit for people who want a long track record, deep liquidity or clearly published fees and team information.
