The blockchain ecosystem is constantly evolving, and the capacity and functionality of a single public chain have become bottlenecks. The current situation is somewhat like the early days of the internet with isolated networks, where each system operated independently. The current direction of the crypto ecosystem is to break this fragmentation—enabling seamless transfer of value and state information between different blockchains and execution environments to achieve true interoperability.

This is the core value of cross-chain bridges. According to data from DeFiLlama, the growth trend of the total locked value(Bridged TVL) in cross-chain bridges indicates the genuine market demand—more and more assets need to flow between different chains. This reflects the broader industry trend of upgrading from isolated islands to a value internet. Only when true interoperability is achieved can DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications have greater potential.
