What is BlockMaze?
BlockMaze is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that bridges the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems under a single, unified network. It runs two parallel execution layers — an EVM-compatible layer for Solidity smart contracts and a native native layer for staking, governance, and IBC connectivity.
Why a Dual-Layer Architecture?
Traditional blockchains force a choice: go full EVM and lose IBC interoperability, or build on Cosmos and sacrifice Solidity tooling. BlockMaze eliminates that trade-off.
- EVM Layer — deploy any Solidity or Vyper contract with no modifications. MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry, and Ethers.js all work out of the box.
- Native Layer — Tendermint BFT consensus, on-chain governance, liquid staking, and IBC bridging to 100+ connected chains.
The BMZ Token
BMZ is the native utility token powering both layers:
| Use case | Layer |
| --- | --- |
| Pay gas fees | EVM |
| Stake to validators | Native |
| Vote on governance | Native |
| IBC transfers | Native |
