# Lithosphere Network > Decentralize everything Lithosphere Network is a Layer 1 blockchain focused on cross-chain interoperability. It combines AI-driven smart contract tooling with a proof-of-stake consensus model to let assets and data move across multiple blockchains. Lithosphere Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built for cross-chain interoperability, developed by a nonprofit foundation supporting its ecosystem. It is designed to let value, data, and tokens move between separate blockchains without forcing a single standard on participants. The network targets developers building cross-chain applications and users who need to transfer assets across multiple networks. Lithosphere uses a proof-of-stake consensus model in which validators hold voting power that determines their role in confirming blocks. It also incorporates deep neural network techniques into smart contract execution, aiming to support functions such as anomaly detection in decentralized finance activity and automated trading logic. A token standard native to the network supports both fungible and non-fungible assets within a single contract structure. The surrounding ecosystem includes a native coin used for value transfer, a cross-chain swap protocol, a self-custody wallet supporting multiple currencies, and a token launch platform for issuing new assets on the network. Together these products serve developers building decentralized applications and users transacting across chains. Mainnet has not yet launched, though public testnets are available for testing and development. - Type: Network - Sector: Blockchain Platforms - Status: Announced - Founded: 2022-06-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network ## Products - [Lithosphere](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): Lithosphere is a proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain built for cross-chain interoperability. It uses a linear-communication Byzantine fault tolerant consensus protocol combined with a signature-agnostic transfer technology to enable trust-less communication and asset movement between heterogeneous blockchains. The network supports a multi contract-compatible token standard that lets developers issue and peg tokens across multiple networks, and it incorporates deep neural network capabilities into smart contract execution. Various decentralized applications for swaps, wallets, NFTs, and token issuance are built on top of the network. (L1, Open Beta, Main Product) - [Thanos Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): Thanos Wallet is a client-side self-custody wallet for creating and managing Lithosphere accounts. It supports multi-currency storage alongside built-in functions such as cross-chain swaps, NFT trading, yield farming, lending, and borrowing. The wallet serves users who want direct control over their private keys while accessing multiple DeFi functions from one interface. (Wallet, Live) - [Ignite DEX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): Ignite DEX is a decentralized exchange within the Lithosphere ecosystem where users trade digital assets and access token launch opportunities. It provides a listing venue for LEP100 tokens and other assets issued through the ecosystem's launchpad activity. The platform serves traders and projects seeking liquidity and distribution for newly issued tokens. (Decentralised Exchange, Live) - [Jot Art Metaverse](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): Jot Art Metaverse is a cross-chain NFT platform where users mint, trade, and interact with characters and objects originating from other blockchain networks. It functions as a play-to-earn metaverse combining NFT gaming with cross-chain interoperability built on the Lithosphere network. The platform targets NFT collectors and gamers seeking cross-network digital collectibles. (NFT Marketplace, Inactive/Support Ended) ## Assets - [Litho Utility Coin (LITHO)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): LITHO is the native token of Lithosphere, a cross-chain interoperability network. It is used for value storage, transfer, and settlement across the network's DeFi applications, including swaps, staking, and wallet functions. The token is structured as a multi-chain coin, allowing it to move and settle across several connected blockchains rather than a single network. (Native) - [Lithosphere Algorithmic Cryptocurrency (LAX)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lithosphere_network): LAX is an algorithmic cryptocurrency issued within the Lithosphere ecosystem, targeting a stable value near one dollar without direct fiat or crypto collateral backing. It is used as a base currency for generating yield, providing liquidity, and serving as collateral across Lithosphere applications. Its circulating supply adjusts algorithmically based on market demand rather than through reserve backing like other stable-value tokens.
