The Future of Blockchain Starts Here
We’re not just building another L1 blockchain—we’re redefining what a blockchain should be. Haven1’s unique position as a permissioned yet decentralized network makes it the ideal solution for the inefficiencies plaguing current Layer 1s.
Our hApp Store can:
✅ Consolidate liquidity across network-owned protocols like our DEX, lending platform, perpetuals, and NFT marketplace.
✅ Drive real value directly back to $H1 holders, creating a sustainable and rewarding ecosystem.
✅ Attract top developers and builders to launch third-party hApps, expanding Haven1’s ecosystem exponentially.
We’ve already proven what’s possible during our public testnet:
- 475,000+ users onboarded
- 9 million+ transactions processed
This is just the beginning. Haven1 is designed to be user-friendly, enterprise-grade, and built for mass adoption.
Innovating Beyond the Ordinary
Haven1 isn’t just another blockchain—it’s the next evolution of Layer 1 infrastructure, built to solve real problems:
🚀 Onchain 2FA and dual smart contract audits for unmatched security.
🚀 hPassport (Proof-of-Identity) to enable safe, compliant interactions.
🚀 Permissioned infrastructure that bridges retail and institutional adoption seamlessly.
Every transaction, every interaction, and every hApp launched on Haven1 channels value directly back into the ecosystem, ensuring that $H1 holders benefit from the network’s growth.
What’s Next? The Road to 2025
With this funding, Haven1 is gearing up for some major milestones:
✅ Finalizing the hApp Store’s network-owned and third-party protocols.
✅ Expanding our validator network to onboard more big names (including some of the world’s largest payment and processing companies).
✅ Preparing for the highly anticipated mainnet launch in early 2025.
We’re here to build a secure, scalable, and REKT-resistant blockchain that not only survives but thrives. Our mission is to make DeFi 2.0 and tokenized RWAs accessible, efficient, and rewarding for everyone.\
