Einführung: Netzwerke & Chains
Das Layer-Konzept
Blockchains werden oft in Schichten unterteilt. Layer 1 (L1) bezeichnet die Basisschicht (z.B. Ethereum oder Bitcoin), die für Sicherheit und Endgültigkeit sorgt. Layer 2 (L2) Lösungen bauen darauf auf, um die Kapazität zu erhöhen und Kosten zu senken.
EVM vs. Non-EVM
Die EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) ist ein Standard für Smart Contracts. EVM-kompatible Netzwerke erlauben die Nutzung derselben Tools und Wallets (z.B. MetaMask). Non-EVM Netzwerke (z.B. Solana) nutzen eigene Architekturen für maximale Performance.

Near Protocol
