About
L1 Library is an open source blockchain knowledge wiki built on MIT curriculum. Chain profiles, concept explainers, and technical foundations — no price charts, no sponsored rankings, just clarity.
What's Inside
- Chain profiles — structured 11-section breakdowns of Layer 1 blockchains: architecture, consensus, ecosystem, governance, economics, history, comparisons.
- Concept pages — deep explainers on blockchain fundamentals with beginner / intermediate / builder depth levels.
- A–Z directory — browse all chains alphabetically. Built to scale to 300+.
- Learning paths — curated sequences from fundamentals to advanced topics.
Content Sources
The knowledge base is grounded in MIT's blockchain curriculum (15.s12 / 15.395), including lecture materials, casebooks, and research papers. Content beyond the MIT source material is flagged inline and independently verified. Every contribution goes through editorial review to maintain accuracy and consistency.
Open Source
L1 Library is free, open source, and community-supported. Code is MIT licensed; educational content is CC-BY-SA 4.0. Contributions are welcome — new chain profiles, concept improvements, error fixes, design work, and translations.
