Custom Layer One

Definition

A custom Layer One refers to a purpose-built primary blockchain network designed with specific functionalities or optimizations. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, a custom Layer One is engineered from its foundational protocol to suit particular application requirements, such as high transaction throughput, enhanced privacy, or specialized data handling. These networks often feature unique consensus mechanisms or virtual machines tailored for their intended use cases. This approach allows for greater control over network parameters and resource allocation.
