Glue is a cross-chain Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem that pairs its base layer with three interconnected, EVM-compatible Layer 2 networks designed for customizable execution environments. Glue's Twitter Score is 29 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #33,269 (top 10%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.
Glue was co-founded by Ogle and SnapShot, with development beginning in July 2021. Built on Substrate, the architecture separates security and token-transfer functions onto Layer 1 while reserving the Layer 2 networks for use-case-optimized execution. The blockchain and its native $GLUE token, which serves as the utility, governance, and universal gas token across all layers, were announced as officially live on January 9, 2025.
Glue's flagship product is Glue Hub, which went live in June 2024 and is designed to combine centralized-exchange-like convenience with self-custody and access to decentralized applications. An AlphaNet followed in September 2024. The network was comprehensively audited by Hashlock, and a Venn integration built on Venn's Ironblocks open-source firewall is intended to detect and block exploit transactions before they reach the chain.
Glue raised its first capital in early 2022, with each founder contributing $500,000 and approximately 20 high-net-worth individuals collectively contributing an additional $1.5 million, with no institutional venture fund named in the official account of that raise. A second raise was conducted through a Fjord Foundry Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool in April 2024, where over 300 individuals contributed a combined $2.5 million worth of ETH, closing the pool early after it reached its fundraising goal. Genesis token allocations include 15% for founders, 10% for the Glue Foundation, and 73.44% for the on-chain treasury.
Glue integrates LayerZero technology to support cross-chain connectivity with networks including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arbitrum. An Avalanche partnership enables Glue Hub users to import BTC.b into the ecosystem. Glue has also announced a collaboration with EigenLayer to explore Substrate-based liquid restaking tokens and the use of EigenLayer AVSs for network validation, and maintains affiliations with Acurast, Stork, BENQI, ether.fi, and Stargate. Glue has accumulated 26,104 followers as of September 2026 and published 13,606 posts. It has been mentioned by 54 accounts a total of 149 times.
