What are Blockchains?
The Blockchains category includes the foundational networks and protocols that enable decentralized applications and smart contracts. This category covers blockchain platforms, node providers, RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services, and development frameworks that allow developers to build, deploy, and interact with blockchain networks. Primary users are developers and product teams who need reliable access to blockchain data, transaction processing, and network infrastructure to create and maintain web3 applications. Key characteristics of tools in this category include decentralization, consensus mechanisms, scalability, and security features. Subcategories often include Layer 1 blockchains, Layer 2 scaling solutions, and node infrastructure providers. Developers should explore tools in this category when selecting the underlying blockchain platform for their project or when they require dependable network access and development support for blockchain integration.
