Is vara network a layer 1?

Excuse me, could you clarify if Vara Network is considered a Layer 1 blockchain solution? As I understand, Layer 1 refers to the foundational protocol layer that supports all transactions and smart contract executions within a blockchain network. So, is Vara Network positioned as a foundational, independent blockchain, or does it operate as a Layer 2 or other type of solution built upon an existing Layer 1 blockchain? I'm eager to understand its position within the blockchain ecosystem.
