Networks & Chains

Overview of the most important blockchain infrastructures and their ecosystems.

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.
