L1 Chain
Ethereum, at warp speed.
About L1 Chain
A zk-rollup settling to Ethereum with sub-second confirmations and fees under a tenth of a cent. Fully EVM equivalent, so existing contracts deploy unchanged and the tooling a team already uses works on day one.

The challenge
A new Layer 1 has to earn its existence. The requirement was meaningful throughput and cost improvement while staying EVM equivalent, so existing contracts and tooling work unchanged on day one.
How it was built
EVM equivalence, not just compatibility
Existing contracts deploy without modification and standard tooling connects directly, removing the migration cost that usually stops adoption.
Proof of stake consensus
Validator economics and finality were designed alongside the execution layer rather than bolted on, so throughput claims hold under real validator distribution.
Settlement to Ethereum
Rollup settlement inherits Ethereum security rather than asking users to trust a new validator set with their assets.
