About Morph

Morph mainnet launched on October 19, 2024. Instead of interactive fraud proofs it uses single-round ZK fault proofs with a 2-day challenge window, and batches are submitted by a small set of whitelisted, staked submitters. A September 2026 upgrade moved batch authorization to a new Submitter contract. In September 2025 Bitget announced BGB would become Morph's gas and governance token, and in January 2026 Morph launched a $150M Payment Accelerator.

Morph is EVM-compatible and supports Solidity and standard Ethereum JSON-RPC. L2BEAT lists ETH as the gas token, while wallets such as Bitget Wallet let users pay gas in USDT, USDC or BGB via EIP-7702.

Common Use Cases on Morph

  • Stablecoin merchant payments and payouts
  • Cross-border remittances
  • Consumer apps with gas abstraction
  • Payroll and FX settlement

Frequently Asked Questions: Morph

What is the Morph chain ID?

The Morph mainnet chain ID is 2818 (0xb02).

How does Morph validate state?

Morph is an optimistic rollup with single-round ZK fault proofs built on SP1, with a 2-day challenge period in which whitelisted challengers can dispute state roots.

Can users pay Morph gas in stablecoins?

Through supporting wallets, yes. Bitget Wallet lets users pay Morph gas in USDT, USDC or BGB via EIP-7702; the protocol-level gas asset listed by L2BEAT is ETH.

Morph guides from the blog

  • Morph RPC: A Developer's Guide (Chain ID 2818)Morph is a payments-focused Ethereum L2 with its own transaction type for paying gas in tokens. Measured: ~2 s blocks, a 0.001 gwei base fee, a transfer costing ~$0.002 (97% L1 data), MorphTx (0x7f) paying gas in USDC, extra receipt fields, safe equal to finalized at ~18 minutes, and full tracing.
