Mainchain

Mainchain - Mainfreight Supply Chain

A blockchain architecture's foundational layer is called the main chain. In this section, every transaction is processed and completed. On top of the mainchain, applications and sublayers are constructed. The entire ecosystem benefits from increased decentralization, security, and privacy.

The parent blockchain is frequently used to refer to the main chain. It serves as the blockchain network's primary structural support. It links every block in the network and preserves the transaction history. It is not possible to modify data once it has been stored on the blockchain.

Due to high traffic, primary blockchains frequently become overloaded and sluggish. The idea of supplementary layers was first introduced in this way. Users can perform operations through secondary layers, which act as mediators between the main blockchain and the decentralized apps.
