Layer 1, or L1, refers to “main” chains, e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum. L1s provide the foundation on top of which dapps, networks, and protocols are created through consensus mechanisms. The two primary consensus mechanisms are PoW (proof of work), and PoS (proof of stake). These consensus mechanisms are differentiated by characteristics such as higher security versus faster transaction processing speed. Layer 2, or L2, chains are secondary systems layered atop the existing main chain that seek to resolve the trade-offs of their L1, without altering the structure of the main chain.
Decentralized finance, or DeFi, has already proven to be a disruptive technology impacting business, financial systems, and overall financial theory as we know it. DeFi now holds a pivotal role even in the traditional market, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon stating, “[DeFi] and blockchain are real, new technologies that can be deployed in both public and private fashion, permissioned or not.” DeFi’s merits over traditional finance include its accessibility, anonymous nature, and flexible, rapid transactions, making it one of the fastest growing sectors in the blockchain world.
Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, are unique, noninterchangeable holders of value. An example of a fungible token, in contrast, would be a dollar bill – every dollar bill that has ever been in circulation has been indistinguishable from each other, from a valuation perspective. Thus, the benefit of NFTs over fungible tokens lies in their distinctiveness, which enables unique value to be ascribed to each NFT. NFTs have disrupted numerous industries, from art, to collectibles (like watches), to sports, and continue to provide a compelling use case for proving and verifying ownership of physical assets.
The metaverse is a continually evolving digital manifestation of the physical world. It is a concept garnering a lot of hype and speculation, especially following Facebook’s rebranding as Meta to position itself for involvement in the space. Companies from every sphere are scrambling to ascertain how they should make their presence known in the metaverse in a 21st- century Space Race. More than $1T in value hangs in the balance, but digital consumers are ever savvier at sniffing out inauthentic money grabs, making the race not only about speed but also seamless, value-added integration.
GameFi builds upon the innovation of DeFi and crypto to revolutionize play-to-earn gaming by utilizing decentralized apps, or dapps. GameFi serves as a gateway for uninitiated users to enter the blockchain world and subsequently gain exposure to other aspects of blockchain, such as NFTs and DeFi. The GameFi ecosystem mutually benefits gamers, game developers, and project token holders through token compensation and appreciation. This mass influx of gamers into the blockchain world is critical for the overall system’s success via mass adoption.
Cross-chain protocol refers to a system enabling exchange of information across different “chains” of blockchain, such as Ethereum and Solana. Although Ethereum could be considered the de facto chain within the blockchain ecosystem – accounting for 1.1M daily transactions, compared to 250K for Bitcoin, the second- most transacted cryptocurrency – it is imperative for the sustainability and success of your project to incorporate a cross-chain protocol to unlock support for universal messaging, data transfer, and smart contracts.
