Elysium

<p>The sectors who deployed blockchain technology to their existing operations saw tremendous changes. Blockchain technology has turned the tables since its inception for various sectors. Layer 1 (L1) networks ignited the revolution while it was further carried out by Layer 2 solutions for scaling-like purposes. Ethereum (ETH) led the L1 networks for a long time and it still does. However, several new entrants beat ETH and surpassed it in terms of value.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ethereum was among the first blockchain networks to deploy smart contracts over the existing peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions facility. The native token ETH is used for utilities and governance over the platform. Various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms over the network use the cryptocurrency for operational purposes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>ETH saw an impressive increase in the last few years. The cryptocurrency value grew multifold since inception. It continued the similar growth in the past year hitting an uptick of 77% year-on-year (YoY) and achieved the milestone of over $2,200. But several L1 tokens surpassed the leading cryptocurrency in value growth and took the attention.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-solana-sol-strong"><strong>Solana ($SOL)</strong></h2>
<p>Solana ($SOL) was the hot topic within the broader crypto industry for the past year. Due to several issues related to blockchain network outages, the native token $SOL had to face the repercussions. The network is placed among the blockchains with highest throughput and have got even popular as Ethereum-killer.&nbsp;</p>
