## Products

- [Linera](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Linera): 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. (L1, Live, Main Product)
