SKALE

A network of “elastic sidechains” tied to Ethereum. Gas is free (sFUEL) and the IMA bridge links it to Ethereum. The city watches its hub chain, Europa. The SKL token is an ERC-20 on Ethereum.

SKALE is a network of “elastic sidechains” launched in 2020. Each app can run its own chain, and users pay no fees (a free gas token called sFUEL is used). Validators take part by staking SKL, an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

Of the many SKALE chains, this city watches the DeFi hub Europa. The IMA bridge links it to Ethereum, and in 2025 SKALE Labs also announced a separate new L1 called FAIR (the SKALE network keeps running).

How it looks in the city

It is a satellite town on an island out at sea. Because its own validators secure it rather than Ethereum, the city draws it as linked to the mainland only by a bridge. Building height is the market cap of this district’s main token.
