LATAM Real-World Applications Are Moving to Sovereign L1s on Tanssi

Tanssi, the decentralized infrastructure protocol for deploying sovereign Layer-1 blockchains, is now used by a growing set of real-world applications in Latin America. Five months after mainnet launch, Tanssi supports production networks across finance, gaming, transportation, and public-sector systems, serving more than 200,000 users in Brazil and the wider region.

Across LATAM, blockchain usage has accelerated alongside the rise of digital payment infrastructure. In Brazil, stablecoins account for over 70% of crypto exchange volume, and local platforms have seen more than 200% year-over-year growth in stablecoin transfers. PIX reinforces adoption: the instant payment system used by over 150 million people, familiarizing consumers and institutions with real-time, API-driven value transfers.

With Brazil also ranking #9 globally for active Web3 developers, more companies are using blockchain for payments, credit, savings, and tokenized assets. These workloads require predictable fees, controlled execution, and custom logic, leading some teams to adopt sovereign Layer 1 chains rather than rely on shared networks.

Live Deployments Across LATAM

Tanssi released updated ecosystem data showing six Latin America–based companies now operating their own sovereign Layer 1 chains on its infrastructure. These deployments span finance, gaming, transportation, and public-sector systems, each running production activity with consumers, enterprises, or government partners.

• Gotas (consumer platforms): Supports more than 170,000 wallets for creator and fan engagement programs across Brazil.

• Scenium (finance): Provides retail investors access to a catalog of 300+ tokenized assets.

• Trexx (gaming): Runs esports rewards and engagement programs for gaming communities.

• Rivool (finance): Originates and distributes agricultural credit on-chain for over 100 producers.

• C9 Tech (microfinance): Delivers rural microloans using predictable on-chain settlement costs.

• Vetrii (transportation / public-sector): Supports the State of Paraná’s Digital Vehicle Passport for lifecycle traceability and ownership records.

  
  

Operational Drivers

The applications running on Tanssi span different industries, but many face similar operational constraints: they process high volumes of user activity, interact with regulated or auditable data, or serve cost-sensitive retail markets. For these teams, unpredictable fees or dependence on centralized sequencing can introduce risk in systems that require auditability, consistent throughput, or controlled execution.

Sovereign Layer 1 chains give developers control over throughput, fee markets, and execution logic, features that matter for payments, credit issuance, digital registries, or large-scale engagement systems. While the broader Ethereum ecosystem continues to expand L2 infrastructure, the emergence of multiple sovereign chains in LATAM suggests that specific real-world workloads may benefit from dedicated execution environments rather than shared ones. 

Infrastructure for Real-World Applications

Teams seeking dedicated execution today typically choose between launching a fully sovereign L1, gaining complete control over governance, fee markets, and runtime logic at the cost of heavier operational setup, or deploying a rollup through RaaS platforms, which offer faster launches and inherited base-layer security but rely on parent-chain rules and centralized sequencing. Tanssi sits between these models: it preserves full L1 sovereignty while providing decentralized block production and restaked economic security as shared services, allowing teams to launch quickly without inheriting upstream constraints or running their own infrastructure.

This model is proving relevant for real-world applications in LATAM, where builders handle regulated data, financial flows, or large consumer bases that demand predictable execution and accountable governance. The early cluster of production deployments on Tanssi suggests that this hybrid approach, sovereignty with a managed control plane, is resonating with teams that need dedicated infrastructure without long setup times or operational overhead.

Scaling the Network

The growing set of sovereign L1 deployments in LATAM demonstrates blockchain's support for production workloads in payments, credit, registries, and consumer systems. These applications indicate that sovereign chains are moving beyond crypto-native use and into environments where predictable execution and accountable governance are essential.

Tanssi’s infrastructure is built to support substantial scale, with capacity for more than 100 sovereign chains in 2026. Several teams, including Grupo Flow, Wirex, BlockBR, Lumia, and others, have already announced new L1 deployments on Tanssi next year. As adoption expands within LATAM and into additional markets, Tanssi aims to give builders the sovereignty, reliability, and interoperability needed to operate real-world systems at scale.

About Tanssi

Tanssi is a decentralized infrastructure protocol that enables organizations to deploy their own sovereign Layer-1 blockchains without the operational burden of running a chain. It provides dedicated execution environments with predictable performance and Ethereum-aligned security for applications that need control over how their systems operate. Tanssi is used today by production teams in gaming, fintech, real-world assets, loyalty, and mobility. Learn more at tanssi.network.
