Layer-1 Smart Contracts

Layer-1 smart contracts are self-executing agreements built directly on a blockchain's main network, like Ethereum or Bitcoin. They automatically enforce rules and execute transactions without intermediaries, ensuring transparency and security. These contracts are stored on the blockchain, making them tamper-proof and publicly accessible. Because they run on the core network, they benefit from the blockchain’s security and decentralization. Layer-1 smart contracts serve as the foundation for decentralized applications, enabling complex interactions directly on the blockchain’s main layer, without relying on external systems or layers.
