14 native layer 1s, each with its own page: what it is, how it settles, and every way to use it on U.CASH.
Layer 1s are the base networks: their native tokens pay gas everywhere on the chain, their validators settle everything, and every other asset in this directory rides on top of one of them. Holding a layer 1 token is holding the chain's own unit of account and its fee currency at once, which is why these assets anchor most portfolios and most treasuries.
The notable names set the tone: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Solana, and 10 more below. Between them they cover the liquidity most flows actually route through, and the long tail is where the interesting structure lives: smaller issuances, newer programs, and the assets whose pages carry diligence facts worth reading before size. Every entry in the grid links to a full page with contracts, network facts, and the swap deep link, so browsing the class is one click from executing on any member of it. The roster updates as the registry does: new listings appear with full pages from day one, and nothing in this directory is a placeholder promising capability that is not live.
What the class means operationally: every asset below carries the same platform capability set regardless of category. Accept it at checkout, swap it against the full roster, hold it non-custodial in your own wallet, and send it anywhere its chain reaches. The class shapes how the asset settles, not what you can do with it, and the per-asset pages carry the specifics that matter at execution time: block time, gas token, confirmation policy, and contracts.
