🔥 Introduction  
PowLayer is a next-generation Layer 1 Proof-of-Work blockchain designed for decentralization, security, and scalability.  
At its core, PowLayer uses the Ethash algorithm, ensuring a fair and secure mining ecosystem while maintaining full EVM compatibility for smart contracts and dApps.  

PowLayer is built for those who believe that Proof of Work is the true foundation of decentralization.
