Neutron is a smart contract blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem. It is built on the Cosmos SDK and uses CosmWasm, a WebAssembly contract framework where contracts are usually written in Rust, rather than the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It connects to other Cosmos chains through IBC, the cross-chain messaging standard, and relies on Cosmos Hub's shared security rather than running a fully independent validator set.
The native token is NTRN. As with most Cosmos chains, it is used to pay transaction fees and for staking and governance. Fees are generally low, though they vary by activity, and you need a small NTRN balance to interact with apps. Prices and supply change daily, so check a live source for current numbers.
The ecosystem is small and focused on DeFi. Astroport is the main DEX, with liquidity pools shared across several Cosmos chains. Nolus Protocol offers lending and spot margin, Eris Protocol covers liquid staking, and Hydro Inflow provides yield vaults that spread deposits across delta-neutral strategies. Levana Perps, a perpetuals exchange, is also listed, but its foundation is winding down and the product is moving to maintenance mode. Gate, a centralized exchange, appears in our listings for NTRN trading but is not a Neutron-native app.

Guides for Neutron and other chains
Blockchain
Blockchain Examples and How They WorkLearn how blockchains record and verify transactions, how consensus keeps a shared ledger in sync, and how Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks put the technology to work. See practical examples, key trade-offs and ways to assess whether a blockchain is a good fit.
Blockchain
Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.

Casper Network and CSPR: A Practical Guide for 2026Casper Network is a proof-of-stake blockchain, and CSPR is its native token. This guide explains the network’s purpose, how CSPR is used, and what to check before staking or transacting.

Cosmos Network Guide: Chains, IBC and ATOM in 2026Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains, not one chain that processes every app and token. Learn how the Cosmos Hub, Cosmos SDK and IBC fit together, what ATOM does, and how to assess transfers, staking and risks in 2026.
Blockchain
How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.

How to Mine Cryptocurrency on Android in 2026Android phones can run mining software, but their limited processing power, battery drain and heat make profitable mining unlikely. Learn how to assess the risks, try a small proof-of-work experiment safely, and spot apps that only simulate mining or sell cloud contracts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Neutron?
Neutron is a smart contract chain in the Cosmos ecosystem. It uses CosmWasm contracts written mostly in Rust rather than the EVM, and it is secured through Cosmos Hub's shared security model. Apps on it include Astroport, Nolus Protocol and Hydro Inflow.
What is the NTRN token used for?
NTRN is the native token of Neutron. It is used to pay network fees and takes part in the chain's governance and staking. Check the current price and supply on a market data page, since these change constantly.
Is Neutron EVM compatible?
No. Neutron runs CosmWasm, a different smart contract environment from the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Solidity apps and standard Ethereum wallets do not work directly, and you will need a Cosmos-compatible wallet.
Which dApps can I use on Neutron?
Our site lists 11 dApps for Neutron. The best known are Astroport for swaps and liquidity pools, Nolus Protocol for lending and margin, Eris Protocol for liquid staking, and Hydro Inflow for yield vaults. Levana Perps is also listed but is being wound down.
How much value is locked on Neutron?
The chain's DeFi TVL is shown as $0 in our data, so treat any total with caution. Individual protocols report their own figures at the time of writing, such as about $2.7M for Astroport on all its chains. TVL is a rough guide and not a measure of safety.
Are Neutron dApps safe to use?
Check each protocol's status and documentation before depositing. Levana Perps, for example, has a foundation that is winding down and a product moving to maintenance mode. Smart contract bugs, liquidation risk on leveraged products and strategy risk in yield vaults are all real, so only use money you can afford to lose.
What is the largest dApp on Neutron by TVL?
Gate is the largest dApp on Neutron by total value locked, with $5.91B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by Astroport ($2.66M) and Eris Protocol ($1.69M). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Neutron has the highest DappsAtlas score?
Gate has the highest score at 7.7/10, ahead of Astroport (6.8) and Nolus Protocol (6.6). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
How many dApps are on Neutron?
DappsAtlas tracks 11 dApps on Neutron. Of these, 11 have a full review and 7 report value locked, $5.92B in total, counting value on every chain they support.
What are the most common types of dApps on Neutron?
Which dApps on Neutron grew the most this week?
