# Cytonic network

**Cytonic** is an L1 blockchain designed to create a unique ecosystem that is open to all technologies used in Web3. Cytonic offers several advantages for users and protocols, including:

* **Zero-effort onboarding** for DeFi protocols, even from non-EVM ecosystems.
* **Compatibility with existing developer tools** across all supported blockchains.
* **Integration with existing wallets**, allowing users to maintain their preferred level of security.
* [**A new method**](https://docs.cytonic.com/multi-vm/cross-vm-calls) **for creating highly interoperable apps**, enabling developers to build applications compatible with all supported ecosystems.

## Why another L1?&#x20;

Cytonic faces the challenge of building a robust ecosystem with its own strong tokenomics. As an L1 blockchain, it must maintain its own validators, which contributes to the stability of its native token through a PoS (Proof of Stake) consensus mechanism.\
Due to Cytonic's unique multi-virtual machine technology, its goal is to be interoperable with all ecosystems without being part of any single one.

## How Cytonic works

### Zero effort onboarding

Cytonic enables developers from any ecosystem to deploy their protocols on Cytonic with just a few clicks, similar to the integration process for EVM-compatible DeFi protocols with additional blockchains (when they go multichain). Detailed integration guidelines can be found in the corresponding [section](#integration-with-existing-wallets).

### Compatibility with existing developer tools

Due to Cytonic's compatibility features, you can use your preferred tools for Solana, Ethereum, and other supported blockchains. Cytonic ensures a degree of compatibility and supports the use of SDKs and frameworks that are well-established and trusted by the crypto community.

### **Integration with existing wallets**

Users can access protocols deployed on any Cytonic runtime using their preferred wallet. This is made possible through a highly interoperable system of virtual machine communication.

### Atomic parallelism&#x20;

Cytonic aims to implement a solution that will enable scaling of its consensus mechanism while maintaining atomic transaction execution and leaving the dApp execution layer unaffected.
