L1 Competition

Definition

L1 competition refers to the rivalry among various foundational blockchain networks, known as Layer 1 protocols, to attract users, developers, and capital. These networks compete based on factors such as transaction speed, cost, security, decentralization, and developer tooling. Each Layer 1 chain aims to establish itself as the dominant platform for decentralized applications and digital assets. This competition drives innovation across the entire crypto ecosystem.
