GenesisL1 is an open-source, experimental Layer-1 blockchain that combines Ethereum-style smart contract capabilities with bioinformatics-focused data storage and computation.
Key Features
Core Infrastructure
Built using the Cosmos SDK with a fork of Cronos/Ethermint, it offers an Ethereum-compatible EVM layered on top of the Tendermint Proof-of-Stake consensus.
Designed to be fast and eco-friendly, processing blocks approximately every 10 seconds.
Scientific & Bioinformatics Focus
GenesisL1 targets the decentralization of crucial biological datasets — such as PDBbank, UniProt, AlphaFold DB, ProteinNet, and more — on-chain for reproducible scientific research.
It facilitates machine learning toolkit integration, NFTs of molecular structures via MolNFT.org, dataset construction and tokenization via DatasetNFT.org, and even Web3-enabled sequence alignment via smart contracts.
Community-Centric Utility Token (L1 Coin)
The L1 coin is the native token used for gas, staking, governance, and powering the network. It has an initial supply of 21 million, with a soft cap totaling 100 million L1 tokens, most of which reside in a community pool to fund projects via democratic voting.
It features annual inflation between 5%–42% as PoS rewards for validators and delegators.
Open & Experimental Nature
The project is highly experimental and comes with no warranty — all its software and data are provided as open-source, and users are invited to contribute.
Developer & Wallet Compatibility
Developers and users can interact using Metamask, Keplr, Remix, and Solidity-smart-contract tooling.
Network configuration details for MetaMask (e.g., Chain ID 29, RPC endpoints) are available for easy integration.

Summary
GenesisL1 reimagines blockchain utility by blending scientific data integrity, distributed computation, and community governance into a single, open, and experimental Layer-1 system. It’s less about financial speculation and more about building tools and infrastructure for scientific advancement, particularly in bioinformatics and machine learning. If you’re a researcher, developer, or community builder looking to push the boundaries of Web3 in the sciences, GenesisL1 offers a compelling platform.
