Frequently Asked Questions

What is Netrun?

Netrun is a metaprotocol built on Base and powered by the Metaplex standard, designed to redefine how non-fungible systems are created and interact on-chain. Rather than a standalone Layer-1, Netrun extends Base with a flexible metaprotocol layer for programmable, composable non-fungible assets.

How is Netrun different from traditional NFTs?

Traditional NFTs are static and limited in behavior. Netrun transforms non-fungible assets into dynamic, programmable systems that can evolve, interact, and carry complex state, enabling richer application design and use cases.

Is Netrun its own blockchain?

No. Netrun is not a standalone blockchain. It operates as a metaprotocol layer on top of Base, inheriting Base's security, consensus, and performance guarantees while adding programmable non-fungible capabilities.

What is a module in Netrun?

A module is an independent community within the Netrun ecosystem that focuses on producing specific kinds of digital assets. Each module has its own developers (who build assets) and validators (who ensure quality and standards).

How does Netrun integrate with Metaplex?

Netrun leverages the established Metaplex ecosystem for asset standards, ensuring compatibility with existing tooling, wallets, and developer workflows. This makes it easy to adopt and build on top of.
