Guide: Layer 1s & Layer 2s
Improving the scalability of Layer 1s has proven difficult. For example, as more and more users joined Ethereum, the network’s efficiency declined. Right now, on Ethereum, some smaller transactions are currently priced out-it can cost hundreds of dollars in gas fees to complete a single transaction.
Layer 1s & Scalability
‘Layer 1’ refers to a simple base blockchain network, such as Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and BSC. They’re called Layer 1s as they are the core networks within their ecosystem.Blockchain networks must become highly scalable to accommodate an exponentially increasing number of users and transactions. This will enable blockchains to compete with legacy, centralised platforms. For example, Bitcoin can process between 4-7 transactions per second (TPS). Visa, in comparison, processes thousands of transactions every second.
However, scalability must also be achieved without reducing the blockchain’s decentralisation and security. This is where scaling solutions come in.
Layer 1 scaling solutions
Layer 1 solutions or “on-chain solutions” add utility directly to an existing blockchain network to improve its performance. However, due to certain technological constraints, not everything can be solved on Layer 1. Developers are creating secondary (Layer 2) scaling solutions as a solution.Layer 2 scaling solutions
A Layer 2 solution refers to a secondary framework built on top of the existing blockchain (L1). The goal is to improve the main blockchain's scalability (transaction speed, cost, etc.) without altering its structure. L2s create an additional framework where transactions and processes can occur independently of the main chain. This is referred to as an ‘off-chain’ scaling solution. The first layer provides the security and the second layer increases scalability.Ethere2um Layer 2s, for example, are an additional layer built on top of Ethereum that reduces the load on the main chain while keeping the same usability & security.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
