# HeLa Labs

> Your AI. Your Yields. One Chain.

HeLa Labs is a modular Layer 1 that combines personalized AI with native yields and uses a fiat‑backed stablecoin for gas fees.

HeLa Labs builds HeLa Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain that combines personalized AI with on‑chain yields. The network uses a fiat‑backed stablecoin (HLUSD) for fees, supports EVM apps, and includes decentralized identity and privacy features. Its modular design separates execution, consensus, guardian, and AI layers to improve scalability and security.

## Products

- [HeLa Chain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hela_labs): HeLa Chain is a Layer 1 blockchain with modular execution, consensus, guardian, and AI layers. It offers EVM compatibility, decentralized identity, and uses a fiat‑backed stablecoin for gas. (L1, Open Beta, Main Product)
- [HeLa Guardian Nodes](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hela_labs): HeLa Guardian Nodes is a staking service and portal to buy and manage Guardian Nodes to earn rewards while supporting network operations. (Staking Service, Live)
- [Atlantia](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hela_labs): Atlantia is HeLa's testnet platform that enables users to test and experience the HeLa Layer 1 protocol through quests, campaigns, and dApps. Users can complete daily quests to earn HL Points, access the HLUSD testnet faucet, and participate in leaderboards while exploring the network's capabilities. (Customer Engagement Platform, Live)
- [HeLa Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hela_labs): A cross-chain bridge enabling asset transfers between Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain to the HeLa blockchain. The bridge locks USDT and USDC on source chains and mints wrapped equivalents as hUSDT and hUSDC on HeLa, facilitating interoperability between established blockchain networks and HeLa's stablecoin-powered Layer 1 ecosystem. Users can seamlessly move stablecoin assets across supported networks through the bridge interface. (Bridge, Live)

## Assets

- [HeLa USD (HLUSD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hela_labs): HLUSD is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by HeLa Labs. It is used to pay for transaction fees and smart contract executions on HeLa Chain, and can be staked to earn yield through the StableHodl platform. Unlike most blockchains that use volatile native tokens for gas fees, HeLa Chain uses HLUSD to provide users with predictable and stable transaction costs, eliminating the unpredictability of fluctuating gas prices.
