A new report from BCG maps how Layer1 protocols are evolving from niche ecosystems into the programmable backbone for Tokenization, Stablecoins, and RWAs. With advances in scalability, interoperability, and institutional adoption, the Layer-1 landscape is entering its most transformative phase yet.

🌐 Key Insights:
1️⃣ Performance Race – Transaction speeds are reaching new highs, powered by parallelization, modular architectures, and emerging interoperability standards.
2️⃣ Ecosystem Specialization – Certain L1s are doubling down on DeFi and NFTs, while others are purpose-built for institutional securities, fixedincome, or cross-border #payments.
3️⃣ Convergence with Finance – Layer-1s are quickly becoming rails for tokenized treasuries, stablecoin settlements, and programmable finance, embedding institutional trust in digital markets.
