Layer One Blockchains: Explained!

You might have heard the names like Etheruem , Solana , Avalanche , Sui etc.

All of these are called the Layer one blockchains

A Layer One Blockchain refers to the foundational level of blockchain architecture, operating as the primary and autonomous chain on which transactions are directly executed and confirmed, as well as providing the essential infrastructure for decentralized applications and smart contracts.

These layer one blockchains are like operating systems.

For example take an Android device on top of which we use applications like

• Facebook
• Instagram
• Tiktok etc.

The Layer one blockchain is exactly that kinda operating system on top of which we use our Dapps or Decentralized Apps like

• Metamask
• Opensea
• Uniswap etc.

The difference between them is that the layer one blockchains are DECENTRALIZED.

Decentralization is the process of shifting control from one main group to several smaller ones.

In simple words the authority of the blockchain is distributed among its users. No single entity has control over it.

So, insead of google overseeing the android’s development. It is actually developers or token holders who influence the activity on the blockchains.

Layer one manages the blockchain’s distributed ledger and transaction processes, while Googel manages the android device’s hardware and software resources.

Blockchain achieves scurity through cryptographic methods and consensus algorithms, while Android uses permissions and secure boot processes etc. To secure its networks.
