## Products

- [Fuel Ignition](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): Fuel Ignition is an Ethereum layer-2 rollup that uses the FuelVM for parallel transaction execution, supporting over 600 TPS with sub-cent transaction costs and 1-second block times. (L2, Live, Main Product)
- [Fuel Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): Fuel Bridge implements cross-chain asset transfer functionality between Ethereum mainnet and Fuel Ignition. The system enables secure token bridging with seven-day withdrawal periods for mainnet security. (Bridge, Live)
- [Sway](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): Sway is a domain-specific programming language based on Rust syntax, designed for high-compute blockchain environments with compile-time analysis, safety features, and smart contract paradigm support. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Forc](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): Forc (Fuel Orchestrator) provides development tools for building, testing, formatting, and deploying Sway smart contracts with integrated package management and project scaffolding capabilities. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Fuel Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): Fuel Wallet is a non-custodial browser extension wallet for the Fuel network, enabling asset management and transaction signing for Fuel-based applications. The wallet supports multi-account functionality while providing transparent transaction preview capabilities and DApp integration through standardized wallet APIs. (Wallet, Live)

## Assets

- [FUEL (FUEL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fuel): FUEL is the native token of Fuel Ignition, an Ethereum layer-2 rollup. It is used to pay for sequencer resources such as data availability and block ordering, as well as for securing the decentralized sequencer network through proof-of-stake staking. Stakers can bond their FUEL tokens to specific applications and earn rewards in exchange for locking their tokens, which allows transactions to be free for users and executed according to application-specific order.
