New Blockchains

➤ Here's a survey for builders that may determine if Canopy is right for you:

If you are...

⚡ Canopy offers a simplified, cost-efficient way to build and scale blockchains without the need for extensive technical expertise or upfront funding.

⚡ Chains start "Nested" (like an L2) when small and vulnerable, then progressively grow into sovereign L1s — all while retaining the flexibility to scale back down or switch Security Roots as needed.

⚡ Builders no longer need to choose between the VC-heavy L1 path or the scale-capped smart contract/L2 path - Canopy adapts with your project.

The stack you build with will stay with your project its entire life. Don't opt for 'usual' — pick the best.


No matter if you're a senior blockchain developer with years of experience, or a new builder just learning the ropes — Canopy is for you.

Canopy Network is the only blockchain framework that bridges the gap in the blockchain lifecycle

  • Start "Nested" — like an L2

  • Graduate into independence — like an L1

  • Then seed the next generation with security — like an L0

Get the benefits of a dApp - but with the independence of L1 - combined with the premium of an L0.
