Frequently asked questions
What are l1 platforms cryptocurrencies?+
They are layer-1 blockchains: base networks with their own chain and consensus, on top of which smart contracts and applications are built. It's a grouping for browsing this catalog, not an official classification — some projects could fit in more than one category.
How risky is this category?+
High, like all crypto: volatility far above the stock market, no guarantee-fund protection, plus regulatory and technological risk. The basic rule: only money you can afford to lose entirely.
Where do the prices on this page come from?+
Live from the public CoinGecko API, refreshed while you browse. We never store or invent prices: if the API is unavailable, the price shows as "—" rather than a stale or made-up number.
Other categories
Market data from the public CoinGecko API; technical profiles are indicative. Nothing on this page is financial advice: cryptocurrencies are extremely high-risk assets with no guarantees.
