[Nervos Network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/nervos) is designed to address the limitations of earlier [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) like [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), particularly focusing on interoperability and scalability. It employs a layered architecture, with Layer 1 ensuring security and decentralization, while [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) enhances speed and flexibility. The platform uses a cell model for smart contracts inspired by [Bitcoin's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [UTXO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/unspent-transaction-output-utxo) model, which improves scalability and security. [Nervos](https://iq.wiki/wiki/nervos) aims to support developers with familiar programming environments and streamline user interactions across [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), ultimately fostering a more integrated and user-friendly decentralized ecosystem.
