Ethereum's Fragmentation Journey and Path to Reunification
Ethereum's Fragmentation Journey and Path to Reunification
🤔 Ethereum's Split Personality Crisis
Ethereum's scaling solutions, while successful, have led to unexpected fragmentation across the network. Key developments:
- L2 rollups solved scalability but created liquidity silos
- Multiple chains now operate independently, causing user experience friction
- Industry leaders including Uniswap team are working on solutions
Current focus is on creating seamless cross-chain experiences to make Ethereum feel unified again. Across protocol offers one solution through optimistic oracle technology and bonded relayers.
Next steps involve improving bridge infrastructure and standardizing cross-chain communication protocols.
