Layer-1 News & Analysis Today

Layer-1 is the base layer of a blockchain on which all other solutions are built. It is the core of the network that provides security, consensus, and transaction processing. Examples of Layer-1 networks include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, Sui, and Avalanche, which compete with each other in speed, scalability, and decentralization. Layer-1 — blockchain technology, scalability, and competition This section publishes reviews and comparisons of Layer-1 protocols: consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS, DAG), transaction speed and cost, smart contract development, security levels, and community strength. We cover hard forks, integrations, developer reports, and the impact of these networks on the Web3 economy. Investment trends, scaling strategies (sharding, rollups), Layer-2 integrations, and the development prospects of individual blockchains are also considered. Layer-1 is the foundation of the digital economy, and this section helps to understand which protocols are shaping the core of the future internet.
