Layer 1 Whitepapers

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), facilitating a wide range of financial and non-financial solutions based on blockchain technology.

Polkadot is a scalable, heterogeneous multi-chain framework designed to offer interoperability between various blockchains, enabling them to work seamlessly together.

Solana proposes a new high-performance blockchain architecture that introduces Proof of History (PoH), offering a unique approach to verify the order and passage of time between events, which can result in significantly reduced validation times.

MultiversX is a highly scalable blockchain platform designed to enhance scalability, security, and interoperability through adaptive state sharding and a Secure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism.

Over Protocol is a blockchain project focused on enhancing decentralization, scalability, and accessibility by reducing resource demands and simplifying node operation.

ZigChain is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to provide financial opportunities for everyone, focusing on easy integration, practical ecosystem tools, and community governance.

Locus Chain is a scalable and efficient blockchain platform designed to handle high transaction throughput using innovative technologies like AWTC and Dynamic Sharding.

dYdX is a decentralized finance platform offering trading capabilities on blockchain, focused on governance, staking, and community-driven development within its ecosystem.

DoubleZero is a network infrastructure protocol building a dedicated private fibre network for blockchain validators. By routing validator-to-validator traffic through dedicated low-latency fibre instead of the public internet, it reduces block propagation times, packet loss, and network-level disruptions. The protocol operates as a permissionless overlay network, primarily targeting high-throughput chains like Solana. The 2Z token is used for network access, staking, and governance.

Acala Network is a decentralized financial infrastructure platform designed to bring stability and liquidity to the Polkadot ecosystem through multi-collateralized stablecoin (aUSD) and tokenized staking protocols.

Hyperliquid is a high-performance blockchain platform designed to unify finance by combining liquidity, user applications, and trading activity into a single, decentralized ecosystem.

Plume is a blockchain platform designed to optimize real-world asset tokenization, offering financial services and DeFi applications while facilitating a decentralized ecosystem for secure and efficient transactions.
