Layer1

Layer 1 refers to the base level of a blockchain network, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, which settles transactions without relying on another network. These protocols provide the underlying security and consensus for the entire ecosystem. In 2026, the L1 landscape focuses on monolithic vs. modular architectures, with high-performance chains like Aptos and Sui pushing the boundaries of parallel execution. This tag explores the evolution of decentralized infrastructure, network security, and the foundational assets driving the Web3 economy.

Analysis: Plummeting prices of new tokens like CAMP, XAN, and XPL raise questions about the TGE model

Analysis: Plummeting prices of new tokens like CAMP, XAN, and XPL raise questions about the TGE model

PANews reported on October 10th that according to CoinDesk, several new tokens have recently experienced significant pullbacks after their launch, raising questions about the Time-Based Enabling (TGE) model ahead of a series of airdrops. CAMP, the native token of the AI-powered Layer1 blockchain, has plummeted 88% since its launch last month, while DoubleZero's 2Z token has lost 60% of its value in just eight days. Anoma's XAN token has also seen a significant drop, falling 60% in a week. XPL's price fell below its TGE issue price on Friday due to widespread negative sentiment surrounding the alleged founding team token sale, a claim denied by the company's founder. There are several reasons behind the dismal performance of newly listed tokens. One is excessive pre-launch hype, which means that when the tokens finally come to market, users are often content to receive a return on their investment rather than continue to increase their holdings. Another reason is token economics. XPL's woes were attributed to $813 million worth of "ecosystem and growth" tokens, which were allegedly sold through market makers, putting pressure on prices and exceeding retail investor demand. With major airdrops coming up for MetaMask, OpenSea, and Monad, some worry that the 2025 "airdrop season" could see similarly weak performance if supply outstrips demand.

zkVerify Launches Mainnet To Cut ZKP Verification Costs

zkVerify Launches Mainnet To Cut ZKP Verification Costs

The post zkVerify Launches Mainnet To Cut ZKP Verification Costs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Horizen Labs, a zero-knowledge cryptography platform, is rolling out its dedicated layer-1 blockchain for private data verification. ZkVerify, a new L1 blockchain designed for zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) verification, announced its mainnet launch on Tuesday. “ZkVerify’s mission is to remove the economic and technical barriers to ZK adoption,” Horizen Labs CEO and zkVerify founder Rob Viglione told Cointelegraph. “Even though verification is typically seen as the ‘cheapest’ part of the ZK value chain, it is still far too costly and inefficient to support real-world scale,” Viglione said. What is ZKP verification? ZKP verification is a cryptographic method that allows one party to prove a statement to another without disclosing the underlying information or data itself. A common example is verifying age eligibility to access a service without requiring the disclosure of an entire ID or other personal details. With a ZKP volume estimated at around $100 million and 4.4 billion proofs as of 2025, the ZK proving market is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2030, according to data from leading industry platforms Chorus, Aligned and Horizen Labs. ZK proving market predictions. Source: Delphi Digital “Right now, many chains and apps can be slowed down or more expensive because verifying those proofs on Ethereum or another chain can be significantly more expensive,” Viglione said. According to zkVerify, ZKP verification on networks like Ethereum can cost up to $60 per proof during high congestion, with verification consuming up to 300,000 gas units. zkVerify promises to enable cost reduction of at least 90% compared to verifying directly on L1s. “Heavy math instead of original app or chain” To cut verification costs, zkVerify provides a dedicated verification layer by separating proof verification from settlement on L1s. “zkVerify checks a ZK-proof by doing the heavy math instead of the original app or chain,” Viglione told…
