# Particle Network > One Account, One Balance, Any Chain Particle Network helps users interact with multiple blockchains through a single account using chain abstraction technology. Particle Network is a modular Layer-1 blockchain built on Cosmos SDK that addresses Web3 fragmentation through chain abstraction technology. The network provides Universal Accounts that coordinate smart contract deployments across multiple blockchains, enabling users to access applications on any chain with a unified address and balance. Through Universal Liquidity, Universal Gas, and account abstraction capabilities, the platform eliminates manual bridging, multi-wallet management, and fragmented gas token requirements across the blockchain ecosystem. - Type: Project - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network ## Products - [Particle Network L1](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): A modular Layer-1 blockchain that coordinates Universal Accounts across chains and unifies users and liquidity. It exposes three core capabilities—Universal Accounts, Universal Liquidity, and Universal Gas—so dApps can be chain‑agnostic while users keep one address and balance and can pay gas with any token. (L1, Live, Main Product) - [Universal Accounts](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): Universal Accounts provide users with a single account and unified balance across all blockchain networks through chain abstraction technology. The system enables cross-chain transactions without bridging while maintaining security through coordinated smart contract deployments. (Embedded Wallet, Live) - [UniversalX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): UniversalX is a cross-chain trading platform that enables users to buy and sell any token on any chain without bridging. The system routes orders across multiple chains and DEX venues while maintaining MEV protection and optimal price execution. (Decentralised Exchange, Live) - [Particle Auth](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): Particle Auth provides social login infrastructure for Web3 applications, enabling one-click user onboarding through popular platforms like Google and Twitter. The system generates smart accounts while maintaining familiar Web2 authentication flows. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Particle Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): A self-custodial multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet utilizing MPC-TSS technology for enhanced security, enabling users to manage digital assets and NFTs across multiple blockchains through social login authentication or traditional wallet connections, with built-in swap, bridge, and fiat-to-crypto gateway functionality. (Wallet, Live) ## Assets - [PARTI (PARTI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/particle_network): PARTI is the native token of Particle Network L1. It is used to pay gas fees across any connected chain, vote on network upgrades, and secure the network through proof-of-stake. PARTI's dual staking model accepts both PARTI delegations and Bitcoin staked via Babylon, requiring agreement from both groups to validate the chain.
