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.​
