# New Network Requests The following are the evaluation criteria UMA considers when adding Optimistic Oracle support for a new network. UMA aims to support as many networks as possible to deliver the best experience for our integrating protocols and users. However, integrating a new network requires a significant investment. Therefore, the evaluation criteria were established to ensure that the benefits to UMA's integrating protocols and users outweigh the development, security, and operational costs of adding a new network. Please note that these requirements are subject to change as the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and Layer 2 ecosystem continue to evolve. Meeting these requirements is the initial step in our evaluation process and does not guarantee support. ### Non-Negotiable Criteria: **The below are a pre-requisite to any consideration:** * EVM-Compatible Network a canonical token and message bridge to mainnet * ≥ 2 or more Independent RPC Node Providers (without block range limits for log queries) * 30-Day Moving Average TVL on the network > $75M * Block Explorer with Etherscan-Compatible API, contract verification and ABI fetching * Availability of token mappings data source with Ethereum mainnet * Dedicated support channel containing technical members of the network with priority support commitment to advise on contract development and debug data quality * Subgraph support for testnet and mainnet * Wallet connector libraries support for testnet and mainnet ### Get in Touch with UMA * Drop a message in the [UMA Discord Server ](https://discord.com/invite/jsb9XQJ) * Send an email to --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
