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.

Cross-chain sounds nice in theory, but the security issues with bridges are still a big pitfall, and they get hacked all the time... Interoperability is a good concept, but the premise is to avoid introducing so many vulnerabilities. Simply looking at TVL growth doesn't tell the whole story; what's crucial is whether there are real application needs. Islands definitely need to be connected, but right now it feels more like we've built a "dangerous bridge" between various islands. Instead of just hyping up interoperability, wouldn't it be better to thoroughly audit the existing bridges first?

Cross-chain has been talked about for so long, but how many truly useful bridges are there? Most of them are just cutting the leeks.

Cross-chain bridges, to put it simply, are still burning money in exploration. The real interoperability that doesn't lag or cost too much is the true way forward.

Cross-chain sounds nice, but right now it's still a bunch of shitcoins running around on various chains... When will true interoperability actually be realized?
