what's N1?
N1 is a high-performance, app-centric Layer-1 blockchain engineered to enable unrestricted scalability for decentralized applications. Originally evolved from Layer N, a project backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, N1 supports up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) through horizontal scaling and advanced compute capabilities. It emphasizes developer accessibility with multi-language support, including TypeScript for seamless app development, alongside Solidity, Rust, and C. The platform's architecture allows any code or app to be deployed on-chain in minimal steps, reducing barriers for builders and fostering innovation in complex dApps that were previously infeasible on traditional blockchains. N1 integrates native tools to enhance user and developer experiences, such as a hub wallet for cross-app asset management, a unified wallet widget for logins, and a Vercel-like deployment interface for easy app launches. By prioritizing horizontal scaling and compute efficiency, N1 aims to power the next generation of on-chain applications, from gaming to trading platforms, while maintaining decentralization. Its ecosystem focuses on intentional app building, with initiatives like N1/Accelerate to support founders from ideation to launch.
N1's mainnet launches soon, with 01Exchange as the first live app on dedicated compute.
