Get Started with SKALE

SKALE is a network of interconnected Layer 1 blockchains built different to scale gaming, AI, DeFi, and other decentralized applications. This page applications similar to a table of contents and provides an introduction to the various products and tools available within the SKALE Ecosystem.

For Developers

Interested in building on the fastest blockchain in the world with zero gas fees? You can start building on SKALE in minutes with one of the SKALE Hubs. SKALE Hubs are SKALE Chains designed to be shared by many projects instead of being dedicated to a single application. Checkout some of the most popular developer docs below!

For Validators

Real blockchains require validators or node operators to run the network. SKALE being a network of Layer 1’s requires strong validator operators to be a part of the network. Check out some of the most common resources below to get started as a validator.

Note

SKALE utilizes a shared security model where validators are responsible for securing multiple chains. This is different from other networks where validators are responsible for securing a single chain. Joining the SKALE Network as a validator means you will be providing resources to the global validator pool and then randomly rotated on and off of active SKALE Chains.
