About the Palm network

The Palm network is a new NFT-optimized blockchain for culture and creativity, built efficiently with Ethereum. The Palm network features low gas costs, fast transaction finality, and is over 99.9% more energy efficient than Proof of Work systems.

The Palm network is designed from the ground up to be as flexible as artists are creative. Today, the Palm community is making NFTs easier and more efficient to use with an Ethereum sidechain, and has a roadmap to transition to an Ethereum Layer 2.
