The base layer of crypto

A layer-1 is a blockchain that runs and secures its own network: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the rest. Their native coins pay for transactions and secure the chain, and they are the assets most people start with. Zypto buys layer-1 coins natively, on their own chains, straight into a self-custodial wallet.
