Layer 1 projects have become quite popular in the market in recent times. Layer 1 networks provide the basic infrastructure where data is recorded, transactions are verified, and cryptocurrencies are created. Protocols such as Ethereum and Bitcoin form the basis for decentralised applications and other layers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top Layer 1 Projects by Market Value in 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin, as the first and most valuable cryptocurrency, stands out as the most valuable cryptocurrency in Layer 1. With a supply of 21 million BTC, it presents itself as an infrastructure that achieves high valuation in the long term due to its limited supply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Ethereum (ETH)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ethereum is known as the largest altcoin after Bitcoin. Its ERC-20 smart contract and dApp platform make it stand out in Layer 1. In addition to being the largest altcoin, it has a large developer community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. BNB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BNB, Binance&#8217;s own cryptocurrency, has been gaining popularity in recent times. The many advantages offered by BNB have led to high transaction volumes on the BNB-Smart Chain network. This feature continues to grow day by day due to the advantages offered by BNB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Solana (SOL)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It stands out thanks to its higher transaction speed and lower transaction fees compared to other Layer 1 networks. Its NFT and DeFi-focused ecosystem attracts great interest from investors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Tron (TRX)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TRX currently stands out as one of the most widely used Layer 1 networks. Thanks to its low transaction fees (Fee) and high-speed transfer capabilities, it is one of the most preferred networks in the blockchain space. It stands out thanks to its compatibility with USDT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Cardano (ADA)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cardano offers a scientific research-based approach. It stands out thanks to its Proof-of-Stake protocol. Low energy consumption and the peer-review process are among its most important features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Hyperliquid (HYPE)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid, one of the most popular layer 1 networks of recent times, has successfully made a name for itself. It stands out as a decentralised derivatives market and spot trading protocol.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. SUI Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Designed for high scalability and low latency, SUI is an infrastructure that offers developers superior features for secure and efficient coding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Avalanche (AVAX)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AVAX stands out with its high scalability and triple blockchain architecture. Thanks to its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), it also paves the way for cross-protocol transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Polkadot (DOT)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DOT is preferred by users thanks to its multi-chain architecture and parachain technology. Its interoperability-focused ecosystem enables it to create a new working environment outside of other layer 1 networks.<\/p>\n<p>Layer 1 networks are known as the first layer of blockchain technology. All major transactions are first carried out at this stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
