A Layer One Protocol refers to the foundational blockchain architecture itself, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which processes and validates transactions on its main network. These protocols establish the core rules, consensus mechanisms, and security properties of the entire system. All subsequent layers and applications build upon this fundamental infrastructure. It represents the primary chain where transactions are settled.
Context
The state of Layer One Protocols is characterized by ongoing competition and innovation, as various networks strive for scalability, security, and decentralization. A key debate centers on the “blockchain trilemma,” the challenge of optimizing all three attributes simultaneously. Future developments include significant upgrades like Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake and the emergence of new Layer One solutions aiming to address existing limitations through novel consensus algorithms and sharding techniques.
The cuPOW protocol transforms AI's matrix multiplication bottleneck into a secure, energy-efficient Proof-of-Work primitive with near-zero computational overhead.
