The mainnet launch of Layer One X, on or about January 31st, has the potential to redefine the benchmark against which other blockchains are measured. The reality now live is already remarkable. The future potential is mind boggling.
Think of Google, the Web2 titan. Is it just ridiculous hyperbole to even suggest the possibility of Layer One X being considered in the same category in Web3 someday? I will answer with simply saying a post to even begin to cover the scope of the vision of what Layer One X aspires to become would be far too long.
I will present you my version of a ... "highlight reel" ... instead and introduce you to this extraordinary new technology.
The Back Story ...
The story begins in Western Australia. The University of Western Australia in Perth to be exact. There we find this man ...
on L1X's "Who We Are" webpage.
There's intelligent. There's brilliant. Then ... There's Kevin Coutinho. What word would be used to describe his ability to first read every line of code behind 8 different blockchains, including Ethereum (what would a fellow wunderkind / prodigy like Vitalik Buterin say about this?), and then write the code to make direct communication between smart contracts on any of them possible?
A feat never before achieved (until 3 Mar 2023)! Rendering bridges, the single greatest point of failure resulting in the largest loss of funds (estimates vary, but it is in the billions), obsolete!!
Pause and think about that. For just a minute ... Or two ...
"No man is an island."
As remarkable as the programming prowess of Kevin is, he cannot build his vision of what is possible by himself.
on L1X's "Who We Are" webpage.
Early on, his efforts attracted the attention Matiu Randolph, a fellow Australian, who is now the Chief Operating Officer of Layer One X. He, in turn, was very effective at drawing the attention of many in his own network, to check out the potential of what Kevin was building.
Which included @abrockman, one of our fellow Hivians, who has been very successful in Splinterlands, as well as many other ventures outside of our Hive blockchain (for instance, EMP Money on the BNB Chain and SparkSwap on Pulsechain).
Who, in turn, I "met" due to @raymondspeaks answering a time-sensitive question of mine, in the Dragon Lounge channel of his Man Cave Project on Discord. Due to my unrelenting time restrictions, Ray had about (literally) a 15-minute window to answer, otherwise it is very unlikely I would be writing this post ...
We can never know how a
simple word of encouragement
or gesture of kindness may change
the life of another. In ways we can't imagine.

So ...
It was through my association with these communities, as a VIP member, that I first learned of Layer One X and the opportunity to invest in it.
Networking, at its finest ... 👍
With that, what then is the vision for what Layer One X aspires to become?
"Highlight Reel"
Well, okay, you are obviously not experiencing this as a video, so ... How about a "highlight reel" of bullet points in a post here on our Hive blockchain?
First, what exactly will be possible on Day 1 of the MainNet launch?
Full interoperability of the eight blockchains illustrated above - Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Fantom.
Outside of Bitcoin, combined together
these 8 blockchains hold 80% of the TVL
held in the crypto / digital asset class!
these 8 blockchains hold 80% of the TVL
held in the crypto / digital asset class!
TVL - Total Value Locked
With that, on to the ... "highlight reel!"
- 👆"Outside of Bitcoin"👆 ... => By the end of Q1 2024, full interoperability with BTC will have been added! After that, the competition is well underway over which blockchains will be added and in what priority.
- Based on X-Talk, the direct communication between smart contracts touched on above, interoperability amongst blockchains is going to be fundamentally redefined.
For example:
Source: The awesome "1-click" power Note well, dear reader, what this represents. It is live. Right now! I have used it successfully. More than once. And the anticipation of that experience, now realized, led to my personal decision in March 2023, to sell my stake in RUNE, as that solution to interoperability amongst blockchains is about to be rendered obsolete! And invest it into Layer One X ...
of exchanges in the L1X App! - This remarkable functionality will be the basis for the creation of the ... "Mother of all DEXes!" (my words, NOT theirs ...😉). The website, while not yet live, will be soon!
The aspiration is to build a DEX never before seen, which will rival the power of a CEX. Binance, for example. Yes, I know there are no shares in Binance ... Or Coinbase (oh ... wait ... Yes, there are!) ... Or KuCoin ... But, if there was, as I did above with RUNE, I would sell them, in anticipation of the launch of Layer One X!
Once launched, in the very near future, Balancer-style liquidity pools (LPs) have been promised. For "blue chip assets" (think of the base token of 8 different blockchains, starting with ETH ...) paying out APRs to "die for", if you are a "degen brained" DeFi uhhh ... "connoisseur."
Oh, yes, and did I mention the "Dex Aggregator" functionality which will be built in? Just imagine 80% of the overall TVL in crypto tradable in one place. - Digital IDs for Web3: This form of communication seems grossly inadequate, to me, to even begin to cover this topic. For now, know that Layer One X has currently partnered with:
1. Omchain to onboard 15 million blockchain users, "to make use of Governmental, Educational, Banking and other services in Turkey." These 15 million Turkish citizens are largely in and around Instanbul, an ancient city!
2. The city of Singapore to begin establishing healthcare services based on blockchain technology.
With many, many other partnership discussions actively underway ... - Revolutionize gaming, in a partnership with DigaLabs:
Source: L1X Foundation blog on "The Next Era of Web3 Gaming: DigaLabs & L1X"
- Diverse other Web3 applications through the L1X App, e.g. a social platform ... A web browser ... Businesses able to reach targeted bases of potential customers ...
Competition for Hive? - Yeah ... Right ... How on earth are they going to pull all of this off? Well, how about mastering Copilot, the "latest, great" AI-engine creation of Microsoft? And embedding it in the developers UI?
If anyone can do it, Kevin certainly has both the skillset and "this is my life" mindset to pull it off.
Note: How does "the market" view Microsoft these days? Largely on the back of the creation of "state of the art" AI engines, like Copilot? How about becoming the most valuable company on planet Earth! - YouTube account. Listening to the weekly AMAs (every Wednesday @ 1AM UTC) are very informative. For example, in this one (click on the "MainNet Updates" bookmark), you will hear Kevin himself talk at length about what is coming, in the New Year.
- Revolutionary app. The "gateway" for every use of L1X, which even "Grandma" could handle. Yes, dear reader, that is part of the UX vision of Layer One X's CXO (Chief Experience Officer), Kody King.
- Server on Discord. The "go to" center of activity, for just about anything and everything Layer One X.
- Extensive blog content. A wealth of concisely written information.
- And ... Last, but not least ... Website!
I will leave it at the above listing, for the time being. In the future, I may provide an update on how this all unfolds - focusing on one specific feature at a time.
Whatever happens, it is "right around the corner!"
DYOR Resources
Like what you see (hear)? Here is a list of resources to Layer One X's:
There are more DYOR resources, but ... This should get you started! 🫡
DYOR Incentives
Need some extra incentive to look into the potential of Layer One X? Here are a couple:
1. Airdrops!
How about an incredible airdrop campaign, with 2 winners receiving a 500,000 L1X coin airdrop (amongst other smaller airdrops)? During the current beta phase, L1X has a value of $0.50.
In other words, 2 people are going to be receiving an airdrop worth $250,000! 🚀
If this is of interest to you, dear reader, please read the blog linked for you above, for more info.
2. PreLaunch Staking Bonuses
If you hurry (before February 1st or MainNet launch), you can take advantage of the remarkable bonuses being offered, as incentives to stake your LIX HODLings:
A 10% to 20% bonus will be paid, upon MainNet launch (i.e. deposited directly into your wallet), on all L1X coins you elect to vest, as shown above. In addition to the other benefits referenced ...
of what is involved to actually run one. Or ... If that doesn't seem too appealing, for whatever reason,
selling it to someone in the L1X marketplace, to someone who is interested!"
If interested, you can read more about it here.
The launch of blockchains and all that goes with them is not new. Since deciding to invest in crypto, beginning in August 2017, I have experienced a number of them. I have never experienced anything like this one.
My introduction to all Layer One X has the vision and aspiration to become led to my making my single biggest investment so far. We are soon to experience whether or not the reality matches or, ideally, exceeds the promise!
I’d love to hear any feedback you may be inspired to provide. Or, if I can help you with any follow-up questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Until "next time," all the best to you for a better tomorrow, as we all work together to build up our Hive Communities and add increasing value to our Hive blockchain! 👍 😊
