Bitgold Network
Bitgold Network is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 for the global asset network. Bitgold mainnet runs with chain ID 618 and the native coin Bitgold (BTG); the testnet runs with chain ID 617 and tBitgold (tBTG). Both use 18 decimals and a fixed supply of 200,000,000 coins.
