An EVM playground powered by Project Excelsior (XCL)

Fast blocks. Familiar tooling. Real XCL energy.

Project Excelsior (XCL) is the core chain. ChaosSnail is the EVM L2 where you can deploy contracts, test ideas, and move value using wXCL — without waiting around.

XCL = base chain
ChaosSnail = EVM L2
wXCL = wrapped XCL
2s blocks = chaos speed

How XCL + ChaosSnail work together

Think of it as a two-layer system: Project Excelsior (XCL) anchors value and history, while ChaosSnail gives you EVM speed and developer convenience.

  • Hold XCL on the base chain (Project Excelsior).
  • Bridge XCL into ChaosSnail to mint wXCL 1:1.
  • Use wXCL inside the L2 for apps, swaps, NFTs, contracts, chaos.
  • When you want to exit, burn wXCL and withdraw XCL back to L1.

Bridge XCL ⇄ wXCL

Deposit XCL to Mint wXCL

Connect MetaMask first. We’ll generate an XCL deposit address tied to your wallet.

Once your XCL deposit confirms, the relayer mints wXCL to the wallet you connected here.
Open XCL Explorer • Tip: If you send from an exchange, use a personal wallet instead.

Burn wXCL to Receive XCL

Burn wXCL on Chaos Snail. The relayer pays out XCL to the XCL address you provide.
