What Are Layer 1 Coins?

Layer 1 coins are the native coins of base blockchains, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. A layer 1 blockchain processes and secures its own transactions without relying on another network. Its coin pays fees and rewards the people who secure the chain. This layer 1 crypto list ranks these coins by market cap, with live prices and daily price changes.

Quick Facts

  • Meaning: Layer 1 is the main blockchain. Other layers build on top of it.
  • Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano and TRON are well-known layer 1 blockchains.
  • Coin use: Pays transaction fees and rewards miners or validators.
  • History: Bitcoin, the first layer 1 blockchain, launched in 2009.
  • Ranking: We rank layer 1 coins by market cap. Market cap is the price times the coins in circulation.

How Layer 1 Blockchains Work

A layer 1 blockchain has its own network of computers, called nodes. These nodes agree on which transactions are valid through a consensus method. The two most common methods are proof of work and proof of stake.

In proof of work, miners use computing power to add new blocks. Bitcoin uses this method. In proof of stake, validators lock up coins to secure the network. Ethereum, Solana and Cardano use proof of stake.

Many layer 1 blockchains also run smart contracts. These are programs that power apps like exchanges, games and lending platforms.

Layer 1 vs Layer 2

A layer 2 is a network built on top of a layer 1. It handles transactions off the main chain and then settles them on the layer 1. This can make transactions faster and cheaper. Layer 1 chains focus on security and decentralization, while layer 2 chains focus on speed and low fees.

The Blockchain Trilemma

Layer 1 blockchains try to balance three goals: security, decentralization and speed. Improving one often means giving up some of another. This is why different chains make different design choices.

Risks

Layer 1 coins can be volatile, and their value depends on network use. Some chains have suffered outages or bugs. Competition between chains is strong, and new chains can take users from older ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

A layer 1 blockchain is a base network that processes and secures its own transactions. It does not depend on another chain for security. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Cardano are well-known examples. Each layer 1 has a native coin that pays fees and rewards the network's miners or validators.

The list above ranks the top layer 1 crypto coins by market cap, with live prices. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB and Cardano are some of the best-known examples. We do not give investment advice. Compare coins by market cap, trading volume, daily price change and project age.

Layer 1 blockchains use a network of nodes that agree on valid transactions through a consensus method. In proof of work, miners use computing power to add blocks. In proof of stake, validators lock up coins to secure the chain. Many layer 1s also run smart contracts.

Layer 1 is the main blockchain that secures and records transactions, like Ethereum. Layer 2 is a network built on top of a layer 1 to make transactions faster and cheaper. Layer 2s process transactions separately, then settle the results on the layer 1 for security.

Yes, Bitcoin is a layer 1 blockchain. It was the first blockchain and launched in 2009. Bitcoin secures its own network with proof of work, and its native coin BTC pays transaction fees. Networks like the Lightning Network are layer 2 solutions built on top of Bitcoin.

You can buy layer 1 coins on almost any large crypto exchange, since coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum are widely listed. Create an account, add funds and search for the ticker, such as BTC, ETH or SOL. You can then move the coins to a wallet you control.
