Layer 1 (UTXO) | CryptoPulsar AI

Layer 1 blockchains using the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model. Each transaction consumes previous outputs and creates new ones, enabling parallel validation and enhanced privacy. Bitcoin pioneered this model with Proof of Work consensus; Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Kaspa follow similar archi
