2022 public chain inventory
As the infrastructure and underlying technology of the Web3 world, the public chain (public blockchain) is the cornerstone of Dapp and the gathering place for ecology and communities.From Layer 1 to Layer 3, public chain projects emerge in endlessly. How did Ethereum grow into a public chain giant? Why do new public chains continue to issue challenges one after another? What does the rise of non-EVM mean? Application chain, Move system, modularization, DeFi original chain... How many innovation directions are there in the public chain?

Public Chain Pattern: Ethereum VS New Public Chain
In 2022, we found that the public chain structure is still led by Ethereum, but the narrative of the new public chain catching up with Ethereum or becoming the next Ethereum has passed. with the development of technology,The public chain track has become the general trend from "one chain alone" to "hundreds of chains"; under the diversified pattern, emerging or developing new public chains also have the space and potential to continue to develop on the public chain track.
Emerging new public chains choose different directions: either choose to rely on the Ethereum ecology, solve the Ethereum expansion problem, and go hand in hand; or use groundbreaking or disruptive technical advantages to solve the "blockchain triangle problem" to attract The transfer of Ethereum users and traffic; or choose to focus on a certain application ecology, attracting mainstream users to participate in it... At present, these innovations have brought about the prosperity of the public chain field again, and the new public chain will be in technological development and ecological prosperity The two nurture and grow in mutual empowerment.

Public chain level Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3
Layer 1 blockchain is the basic layer of the blockchain architecture, which undertakes the underlying consensus. It exists as the underlying facility of the blockchain application and opens up the future of the blockchain.Layer 1 blockchains brought the term "blockchain" to developers and users.
The basic optimization logic of Layer 2 is to strip and layer the functions of the public chain, leave the consensus mechanism that provides security in Layer 1, and delegate the calculation and execution to Layer 2, so that the public chain can become the settlement layer of Layer 2. Mechanisms such as cross-chain and sharding are easier to implement and operate.Layer 2 has contributed to a very successful industry change. Its Layer 3, which can provide customized application services for specific scenarios, has opened up a new space for the blockchain.
Whether it is the development history from Layer 1 to Layer 3, the realization and innovation of Layer 2 in terms of privacy, or the emergence of many new Layer 1...TinTinLand and all developers look forward to the "Hundred Chains Unlocking" Multi-chain future.

Move series public chain
The Move public chain, which was born in 2022, has attracted the attention of the industry with a series of halos such as rapid financing, strong technical background, and Move language. Although Sui announced the economic model and allocation in the last quarter, he encountered controversy from the community.However, the Move public chain has been a dark horse in the industry throughout the year, attracting unlimited attention.
The Move language is built for assets, expressing Libra currency and governance rules in a precise, understandable, and verifiable way. In the long run, Move must have the ability to encode the various assets and corresponding business logic that make up the financial infrastructure. However, although the new narrative is attractive, the practical process still needs to be observed. We will continue to pay attention to the technological innovation and ecological development of the Move public chain.

Modular Blockchain
"Modular blockchains will define the next decade of Web3 innovation", the modular blockchain is designed to handle one or more functions professionally, avoiding the defects caused by the four functions of execution, data availability, consensus and settlement at the same layer. On the basis of realizing the same function, the modular blockchain avoids the existing limitations and defects.
The modular blockchain has the advantages of guaranteeing sovereignty and scalability. More importantly, the modular design allows developers to start new blockchains efficiently and at low cost, and realize the rapid creation of a blockchain. The modular blockchain creates a collaborative environment that includes many chain connections, accelerating the development of the entire modular ecosystem.In the foreseeable future, developers will no longer serve a single chain ecology, but will easily enjoy the full chain ecological value brought by modularization.

DeFi Protochain
The design of the DeFi protochain is proposed and implemented, and the prosperous DeFi track will have its own more professional and customized blockchain.Sei and Berachain, as the new Layer 1 blockchains that will gain attention in 2022, let us see the purpose and vision of the birth of the DeFi protochain. That is to solve the two extremes of Layer 1 - either general-purpose chains (Solana, Ethereum), or application-specific chains (dYdX, Osmosis). The DeFi protochain creates a whole new design space from it—neither general nor application-specific, but specific to a certain industry.
With the characteristics of serving specialized industries, promoting liquidity and being developer-friendly, the DeFi protochain, as a blockchain for specific use cases, may be the next innovation peak and value depression for developers.

Ethereum
In September 2022, Ethereum merged successfully,After 8 years of exploration, Ethereum has finally switched from the PoW consensus mechanism to PoS, and its merger and upgrade has become an annual event in the encryption world.The merger of Ethereum did not solve the high transaction cost and network speed problems of Ethereum, but it adopted PoS to issue and verify transactions on the blockchain, and the energy consumption of the network was reduced by about 99%. Green Blockchain” action.
At the same time, TinTinLand also successfully launched two phases"Blockchain Introductory Course - 0 Basics to Create Ethereum Smart Contracts". At present, the ecology of Ethereum is booming, and learning the development of smart contracts on Ethereum is the only way for developers to get started with the blockchain. TinTinLand cooperates with Ethereum technology masters, and the public welfare courses launched not only cover the introductory knowledge of smart contract writing, but also take into account the security content of smart contracts, so that developers can fully understand the latest technological progress, security issues and market conditions of smart contracts.

epilogue
Blockchain technology has developed rapidly in recent years. The accumulation and innovation of technology has led to the birth of a batch of mature landing projects in the industry. From the Arabian Nights a few years ago to the all-round layout and development of the Web3 public chain in the fields of social economy, culture, and social interaction.Web3, which relies on blockchain technology, wants to build a decentralized world. This is not only the vision of Web3, but also the original intention of returning to the development of the Internet of Everything.
It is true that the Web3 public chain project still has many shortcomings. For example, high barriers to user access, high development difficulty, insufficient network throughput, gas costs, etc., and the emergence of projects of mixed quality in the initial stage have exacerbated the seriousness of the problem. It is undeniable that many public chains will usher in a moment of reshuffle in the near future, and public chain projects based on technology and dedicated to the realization of network value can develop in the long run. The strong development of the Move public chain this year just confirms the importance of technological innovation in the early stages of Web3 development. In addition, the birth of the modular public chain, the DeFi proto-chain, and the metaverse proto-chain also reflects the achievements of industry developers in exploring the long-term development of the ecology.
At the end, I would like to thank all my friends for growing together with TinTinLand in 2022. In the new year, TinTinLand will continue to pay attention to the technological change and ecological progress of the development of the public chain, provide cutting-edge information, technical interpretation and a series of developer public welfare courses for the majority of Web3 users, developers and investors, and help more small partners enter the Web3 industry , Build the Web3 project, and witness the realization of the Web3 next-generation Internet.
