Layer 1 & Layer 2 Blockchains
Layer 1 (Main chain)
They are an independent set of solutions for the base protocol and for the core system and the main architecture.
Layer 2
Secondary Blockchains that operate ON TOP of Layer 1 blockchains, to improve the Layer 1 efficiency.

🏁Conclusion
As you can see, each blockchain literally opens up a world, and the list is certainly incomplete.
It will be interesting to see if in the future the number of blockchains will increase or decrease, as it was for search engines in the '90s.
We will see.
