Songbird

Overview

The Songbird network is an interoperable, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain and a canary network to the Flare blockchain. Powered by the native SGB token, Songbird provides a platform for testing key features and updates before they’re implemented on Flare. Also, the Songbird crypto platform offers various novel features to aid interoperability and cross-chain communication.

Faucet

Units

Each sgb is comprised of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1018) wei, so not even a single sgb can be stored numerically without exceeding the range of JavaScript numbers. Gas fees are denoted in gwei.

  • 1 sgb = 1018 wei
  • 1 wei = 10-18 sgb
  • 1 gwei = 10-9 sgb

For that reason, only string balance properties are available, which are balanceString, confirmedBalanceString, and spendableBalanceString.

Tokens

The Songbird blockchain natively supports tokens.
