# Heima Network > Unlock all chains with one account Heima Network is a chain abstraction blockchain that lets users manage assets and execute trades across multiple chains from a single account. It serves developers and traders building or using cross-chain decentralized exchanges and automation tools. Heima Network is a chain abstraction blockchain built for cross-chain decentralized exchange trading and automation. It provides a unified omni-account system that lets users authenticate with email, passkeys, or a standard wallet and interact with multiple blockchains without switching wallets, bridging manually, or holding native gas tokens on each network. The network is aimed at traders seeking simplified cross-chain access and at developers building omni-chain applications. The network addresses the fragmentation created when users must manage separate wallets, liquidity, and gas assets across different blockchains. It operates as a proof-of-stake blockchain connected to a shared-security relay chain, and uses an intent-centric execution layer that computes routes, sources liquidity, and settles transactions through infrastructure secured by trusted execution environments. A permissionless agent network monitors conditions and fulfills user intents such as swaps, rebalancing, or staking, with participants incentivized through built-in reward mechanisms. Its flagship offering is chain abstraction infrastructure for omni-chain decentralized exchanges, alongside developer SDKs and APIs for token data and trade routing, and an automated strategy product for digital asset trading. The network evolved from an earlier decentralized identity project and continues to integrate that research into its cross-chain account architecture. It is used by decentralized exchanges expanding across chains, startups building multi-chain applications, and centralized platforms building decentralized trading products. - Type: Project - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2019-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/heima_network ## Products - [Heima](https://thegrid.id/profiles/heima_network): Heima is a cross-chain infrastructure protocol that enables users to execute transactions across multiple blockchains from a single unified account through an intent-based execution model. The protocol abstracts gas payments, allowing fees to be paid in any token, and routes user intents to an optimal execution path. An on-chain Agent Hub allows developers to deploy autonomous agents for automated trading, staking, and cross-chain operations. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live, Main Product) - [Heima L1 Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/heima_network): Heima L1 Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built on Substrate that serves as the coordination and registry layer for the Heima chain abstraction protocol. It connects to Polkadot as a parachain, inheriting shared security, and provides the execution environment for cross-chain intent routing and agent management. The chain is EVM-compatible and targets 500ms block times to support real-time DeFi operations. (L1, Live) ## Assets - [Heima (HEI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/heima_network): HEI is the native token of Heima, a Layer 1 blockchain and cross-chain abstraction protocol. It is used for governance voting, paying network gas fees through intent fillers, and as a mediation asset in cross-chain liquidity pools. The protocol uses a burn-and-mint model that dynamically adjusts token supply based on demand rather than a fixed emission schedule.
