# Why Build on Fenine

> Discover the advantages of building on Fenine Network

## Introduction

Fenine Network provides a **high-performance, EVM-compatible blockchain** optimized for DeFi, GameFi, and enterprise applications. With 3-second block times, novel FPoS consensus, and developer-friendly tooling, Fenine offers the perfect foundation for your next blockchain project.

## Key Advantages

### 1. Blazing Fast Performance

Fenine delivers enterprise-grade throughput:

* **Block Time**: 3 seconds (4x faster than Ethereum)
* **Finality**: 18 seconds (42x faster than Ethereum)
* **TPS**: \~476 for transfers, \~154 for ERC20
* **Gas Limit**: 30M per block (2x Ethereum)

### 2. Ultra-Low Costs

Gas fees are **99% cheaper** than Ethereum:

| Operation      | Ethereum (50 gwei) | Fenine (1 gwei) | Savings |
| -------------- | ------------------ | --------------- | ------- |
| Transfer       | \$2.62             | \$0.05          | 98.1%   |
| ERC20 Transfer | \$8.12             | \$0.16          | 98.0%   |
| Uniswap Swap   | \$18.75            | \$0.38          | 98.0%   |

### 3. Full EVM Compatibility

**Zero migration effort** for Ethereum developers:

✅ All Ethereum opcodes\
✅ EIP-1559 fee market\
✅ Solidity 0.8.x\
✅ Hardhat, Foundry, Remix\
✅ ethers.js, web3.js, viem

### 4. Unique Incentive Model

**8-level proximity rewards** create viral growth mechanics:

* Earn base APY: 10%
* Plus 7% from direct referrals
* Plus 5% from level-2 referrals
* Up to 8 levels deep → **12-15% total APY**

### 5. Deflationary Economics

Dual burn mechanisms:

* **EIP-1559 burn**: Base fee burned every block
* **Tax burn**: 50% of staking tax destroyed
* **Threshold**: Network becomes deflationary at 67 gwei base fee

## Get Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set Up Environment">
    Install Hardhat or Foundry with Fenine network config

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install --save-dev hardhat
    npx hardhat init
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Network">
    Add Fenine to your config:

    ```javascript theme={null}
    networks: {
      fenine: {
        url: "https://rpc.fene.app",
        chainId: 89,
        accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY]
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy Contract">
    Deploy your Solidity contracts:

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network fenine
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify & Launch">
    Verify on explorer and launch your dApp

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx hardhat verify --network fenine CONTRACT_ADDRESS
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
