N1

N1, known as Layer N, engineers a hyper-performant rollup network to scale financial applications on Ethereum. This Layer 2 StateNet uses custom, optimized rollup nodes with a shared state and liquidity layer. The technology delivers ultra-high throughput, sub-millisecond latency, and congestion-free transactions, facilitating efficient trustless computing for internet-scale financial use cases.

Co-founded by Dima Romanov, CEO, Layer N launched in 2022. Romanov’s experience, including at Morgan Stanley, revealed traditional finance's limitations. This spurred his blockchain pivot, envisioning a foundational layer simplifying development and elevating performance for decentralized finance.

Layer N targets developers and protocols building demanding decentralized finance applications needing superior speed and scalability. The platform supports early-stage protocols, cultivating robust, sustainable liquidity within the DeFi ecosystem. The company’s vision is to streamline on-chain development, allowing any application to operate efficiently with minimal blockchain complexity.
