N1 Launches First Testnet, Inviting Developers for Access

N1, a layer 1 blockchain backed by Founders Fund, has announced the launch of its first testnet, inviting developers to request access via direct message. Designed to support applications and horizontal scalability, N1 aims to streamline performance by avoiding consensus in most cases, allowing for unordered and asynchronous transactions by default. This approach enhances scalability as the number of validators increases, with consensus only introduced when bridging between applications. N1 features built-in sharded data availability, a native solana bridge for high liquidity, and a virtual machine-agnostic environment, providing developers with the flexibility to optimize performance without the constraints of traditional execution environments. With zero congestion and independent app operations, N1 is poised to offer a robust platform for the next generation of decentralized applications.
