List of L1 companies in Web3 (2026)

Talus Network implements a Move-based Layer 1 blockchain designed for AI smart agents. The system processes transactions with the Move VM, provides native primitives for agent deployment, handles cross-chain operations via IBC protocols, and executes smart contracts for agent management.

Ritual Chain implements sovereign Layer 1 blockchain architecture optimized for AI-native operations, providing specialized execution environment for heterogeneous compute workloads. The chain features custom VM with AI model primitives and cross-chain interoperability.

Collaterize Protocol facilitates tokenization of real-world assets using blockchain, enhancing interoperability and liquidity across financial ecosystems.

Corda is a permissioned distributed ledger architecture with transaction-level verification and privacy-preserving smart contracts. The platform enables regulated asset tokenization while maintaining compliance through identity verification and regulatory reporting capabilities.

Ozone Kite AI Blockchain is an AI-optimized L1 blockchain designed specifically for the computational and storage demands of AI models and agents. The blockchain implements Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI) for transparent tracking and fair attribution, enabling trustless collaboration across data, models, and agents with integrated compute resources and data pipelines.

1Money Network is a Layer 1 distributed ledger that uses Byzantine Consistent Broadcast protocol for instant stablecoin transactions. The system processes over 250,000 transactions per second without blocks or smart contracts, enabling fixed-fee payments in the same stablecoin being transferred. The architecture includes native compliance features and permissioned validator requirements.

A multi-blockchain fabric platform utilizing patented shared-block architecture to enable private, scalable data exchange. The platform creates independently encrypted blocks for each interaction where multiple blockchains synchronize states to form shared blocks accessible only to authorized participants. Supporting parallel block creation for horizontal scalability, the system handles millions of transactions per second with object-level encryption and quantum-resistant capabilities. Users operate individual chains that interact through encrypted shared blocks, maintaining full data ownership and control over access permissions.

DMD Diamond Blockchain provides decentralized application infrastructure through community validation, enabling fast transaction processing and automated governance systems. The system maintains network security while supporting smart contract deployment and staking rewards distribution.

Programmable datachain combining storage and execution for efficient dApp development.

Inversion Chain is a custom Layer 1 blockchain built on Avalanche designed to support crypto-native private equity operations. The system provides permissioning at validator levels, privacy features, EVM compatibility, and native interoperability to facilitate business acquisition and blockchain integration strategies.

Linera is a Layer 1 blockchain protocol designed for horizontal scalability through the use of microchains, which run in parallel to handle large-scale Web3 applications. It allows developers to build decentralized applications with low latency and high throughput, optimized for use cases like payments, gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The Linera SDK enables developers to easily interact with the microchain infrastructure and deploy scalable blockchain solutions.

MindChain is a blockchain for encrypted data processing. It helps users protect sensitive information through private computation and cross-chain communication.

Alastria Blockchain Platform is Spain's public-permissioned multi-sector blockchain infrastructure offering two network implementations: T Network based on Quorum technology and B Network built on Hyperledger Besu. The platform provides enterprise-grade distributed ledger services with regulatory compliance, digital identity integration, and interoperability with European EBSI and Latin American LACChain networks.

Ambient is a Solana SVM–compatible Proof of Work Layer‑1 providing verified AI inference via a Proof of Logits approach. Miners perform inference, fine‑tuning, and training while earning protocol rewards. The chain is a Solana fork that replaces PoS with PoW while retaining SVM performance characteristics.

Psy is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses Proof of Useful Work consensus and PARTH state architecture to enable parallel transaction processing. The protocol has users generate zero-knowledge proofs locally on their devices, which miners then aggregate recursively to produce a single block proof. The system uses Software-Defined Keys that allow programmable public keys for custom security logic and autonomous agent support.
