Corn is a blockchain network built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, and CORN is its ecosystem token. The name is heavily contested across crypto, so this page describes exactly one asset: the LayerZero omnichain token deployed at 0x44f49ff0da2498bCb1D3Dc7C0f999578F67FD8C6 on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and the Corn network itself, with a Solana mint at ApqLH7ovTBeEjgBMXH8udnBttwR9k5JEv9pNnVQV7Xsa. All four EVM deployments share that one address, which was confirmed by direct contract reads on Ethereum and Base. Any other contract using the CORN ticker is a different asset.
Corn launched as a Bitcoin-centric Layer 2 whose gas token was Bitcoin rather than ether, and is repositioning as a stablecoin payments network centered on Tether's USDT. Both phases matter, and the transition is unfinished.
Official sources:
Corn was co-founded by Chris Spadafora, previously behind BadgerDAO, a project focused on bringing Bitcoin into decentralized finance. In August 2024 it announced a roughly 6.7 million dollar seed round led by Polychain Capital, with participation reported from Binance Labs, HTX Ventures, Framework Ventures and ABCDE.
The original pitch was unusual: an Ethereum Layer 2 where Bitcoin, not ether, paid for gas. The network shipped as Corn Maizenet with chain ID 21000000, ran a points program known as Kernels, and distributed CORN through airdrops, vault programs and staking.
In 2026 the project announced the StableCorn upgrade, describing a shift away from the Bitcoin-first design toward a low-cost settlement layer for stablecoin payments with USDT as the canonical unit and zero-fee transfers as the headline feature. As of a live check on September 11, 2026, the public Maizenet RPC endpoints listed in the documentation no longer respond, the independent tracker L2BEAT lists the Corn rollup as archived and no longer maintained, and the documentation has moved the original network material under a section labeled Legacy while marking the StableCorn upgrade as still upcoming. Anyone evaluating Corn should treat the legacy chain as wound down and the replacement as announced rather than shipped.
The legacy network's design had four distinctive parts:
Bitcoin as gas The gas token was BTCN, or Bitcorn, an ERC-20 backed one to one by Bitcoin. Users minted BTCN by depositing custodial Bitcoin representations such as wBTC and cbBTC through a component called the Bitcoin Clearing House. The documentation states plainly that BTCN governance controls minting, burning and pausing transfers, and that BTCN sits behind a UUPS upgradeable proxy.
Arbitrum Orbit with Stylus Corn used the Orbit stack, inheriting Ethereum-anchored settlement and Arbitrum tooling, plus Stylus support so contracts could be written in languages beyond Solidity. Data availability was handled by a committee rather than posted fully to Ethereum, which L2BEAT flags as a centralization consideration.
popCORN staking Staking CORN produced popCORN, a non-transferable vesting token. On claim, 21 percent of the underlying CORN is immediately available and the remaining 79 percent vests linearly over 21 weeks; withdrawing early forfeits the unvested remainder, which returns to the Corn Foundation. popCORN holders were intended to direct ecosystem emissions toward whitelisted applications each epoch.
LayerZero omnichain movement CORN is a native LayerZero OFT. Bridging burns the token on the source chain and mints it on the destination, so the balance reported by any single chain's contract is only that chain's share, not the global total.
On supply, project documentation states a total of 2.1 billion CORN. That figure is a stated allocation, not a limit the contract enforces. An on-chain read of the Ethereum deployment on September 11, 2026 found no cap() or maxSupply() function, confirmed that the contract is an EIP-1967 upgradeable proxy, and found that the current implementation exposes burn and pause functions but no public mint entry point. Minting therefore happens through the bridge path rather than as an open owner function, but because the proxy is upgradeable the implementation can be replaced by whoever holds upgrade authority. Read the 2.1 billion figure as policy, and the proxy as the real control surface.
The original design answered a question most Bitcoin Layer 2 projects avoided: what if the fee token itself were Bitcoin, so holding the chain's gas meant holding BTC exposure rather than a new speculative asset? Combining that with an Orbit rollup, a Bitcoin staking layer and a veToken-style emissions director was a distinct configuration. The pivot to zero-fee USDT settlement is a different bet, aimed at payments volume rather than Bitcoin yield.
Corn never tried to be a Bitcoin execution layer the way sidechains do. It was an Ethereum rollup that imported Bitcoin as the unit of account. Against other Arbitrum Orbit chains, the custom gas token and the popCORN emissions layer were the differentiators rather than the execution environment, which was standard. Against general-purpose payment chains, the announced StableCorn direction leans on a single issuer's stablecoin as the canonical asset, concentrating both liquidity and counterparty exposure.
The legacy rollup relied on Arbitrum Orbit fraud proofs settling to Ethereum, with a Data Availability Committee rather than full on-chain data posting, plus Babylon Bitcoin staking. L2BEAT recorded fewer than five external actors able to submit challenges or attest data availability, a material centralization caveat. Token and bridge contracts were reviewed by Spearbit, Hexens, OtterSec, Zenith and Cantina, with reports linked from the documentation. Audits reduce implementation risk; they do not remove custodial risk from the wrapped Bitcoin backing BTCN, nor governance risk from upgradeable proxies.
Corn is a useful case study in how fast a Layer 2 thesis can change. The Bitcoin-as-gas idea was distinctive and drew real funding and real users, and it did not produce durable activity. The pivot to stablecoin settlement follows where volume has actually gone. The honest summary today is that CORN is a live, multi-chain asset attached to a network in transition, and the outcome depends on whether the announced upgrade ships and attracts payment flow.
CORN trades on centralized exchanges and, because it is a LayerZero OFT, on decentralized venues on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Solana. Confirm the contract address before any on-chain swap; the documentation itself warns about counterfeit CORN tokens.
The token has been listed on several mid-sized and large centralized venues since its 2025 distribution. Listings, pairs and regional availability change, so verify on the exchange directly.
On Ethereum, Arbitrum or Base, any EVM wallet works, including hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor. On Solana, use a Solana-compatible wallet and the mint address above. With the legacy network no longer reachable through public endpoints, holding the Ethereum, Arbitrum or Base representation is the practical option. Always add the token by contract address rather than by ticker search.
