Shimmer is a scalable and feeless network enabling frictionless decentralized and scalable Web3 economies.
ShimmerNetwork
Shimmer is a feeless, parallelized DAG ledger to secure and create fully customizable smart contract chains. Launched as a staging network to battle-test all future innovations for the IOTA protocol, its tokenization framework will guarantee full interoperability, composability and feeless value transfers between smart contract chains, and aims to make Shimmer a truly scalable multi-chain network. The native token of the Shimmer network is SMR.
Tokenize Everything
Mint, manage and transfer native tokens and NFTs on the Shimmer network for zero fees. Read more.

Native Tokens
Custom tokens are first class citizens on the Shimmer network and can be minted and transferred feelessly, even by L2 smart contracts anchored to it. Read more.
Native NFTs
Shimmer rewrites the playbook for NFTs by removing fees for their creation and trading. All NFTs on Shimmer act as standalone wallets and can hold other NFTs and tokens and additionally can store immutable on-chain data. Read more.
Output Types
The extended UTXO model enables unique output types with custom transaction logic and trustless atomic operations. Read more.
Testnet is live
The ShimmerEVM testnet chain is the first fully EVM-compatible smart contract chain on the Shimmer network that enables scalable, fast, secure and parallel processing of smart contracts.

Smart Contracts
Build decentralized applications (DApps) with IOTA Smart Contracts and deploy them on the ShimmerEVM testnet. Read more.
Faucet

Connect Everything
Trade without limits. Shimmer eliminates the need for costly and insecure bridges, enabling unhindered cross-chain interoperability through bridgeless asset transfers. Read more here.
Blockchain Unchained
Shimmer’s Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture allows parallelized writing to the ledger and enables it to secure infinitely higher amounts of L2 blockchains - ultimately breaking the dependency on second layer scalability solutions. Instead of relying on fixed block intervals with limited block sizes, parallelization paves the way for scalable, unstoppable multi-chain economies secured by Shimmer. Read more.
