Welcome, **Havenauts 🧑‍🚀** to the official documentation for Haven1—an EVM-compatible blockchain purpose-built to address the core challenges hindering mass DeFi and Web3 adoption: security, liquidity, and accountability.

As crypto faces persistent threats from hacks, scams, and rug pulls, Haven1's mission is to build and expand a secure and thriving blockchain ecosystem. Haven1 is a complete blockchain network where builders and users can transact confidently, free from the risks of common on-chain exploits—also known in Web3 as getting REKT.

## Haven1: The REKT-Resistant EVM L1 Blockchain, Purpose-Built for DeFi 2.0

Crypto as a whole—and particularly [DeFi](https://docs.haven1.org/additional-resources/haven1-terminology)—faces frequent security breaches, scams, and rug pulls. Without a reliable way to verify counterparties, users face increased exposure to security threats and malicious activity.

That's why we created Haven1, a [Layer 1](https://docs.haven1.org/additional-resources/haven1-terminology) blockchain designed to address the core barriers to mass Web3 adoption: security and liquidity. A secure blockchain ecosystem where security guardrails are built into the network, enabling more trusted on-chain interactions.

With Haven1, **secure on-chain transactions are finally within reach.** Our anonymized yet verifiable hPassport provides a provable identity framework that enhances trust and accountability, particularly for builders. This is complemented by wallet-level two-factor authentication, 24/7 AI-powered network guardians, and a reserve fund designed to enhance security, incorporating Bitcoin as a key asset for added resilience.

Set to launch in **Q1 2025**, Haven1 is open to anyone who wants to join fellow **Havenauts 🧑‍🚀 in the REKT-Resistance movement.**
