# Metanovaverse Metanovaverse is an [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/evm/) chain that is also compatible with the Cosmos Ecosystem using Cosmos SDK. EVMs allow smart contracts to run, tokens to be transferred, and data to be stored. Some of the famous examples with EVMs used are *Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain*, and *Matic*. Using EVMs, blockchain projects can deploy new dApps like *decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, bridges* and many more. The Metanovaverse network has a very fast block time of 1 second, low gas fees, and network security that comes with the use of Tendermint’s protocol. Metanovaverse will act as a hub between multiple chains that we will be launching in the Metanovaverse Ecosystem. Other supporting systems can be bridges, IBCs, oracle systems, as well as other chains that have more specific use cases like data management and transaction storage. All of these will be connected via the Atlantis to allow users to experience a wide range of services across the Metanovaverse Ecosystem. #### Metanovaverse Testnet In order for the users and developers to be able to freely test our chain, another chain is running in parallel with the Metanovaverse chain and this is called Metanovaverse Testnet. ### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
