CAIP standard just achieved a major milestone—it's now officially registered as a provisional URI scheme with IANA. Here's why this matters.

Chain-agnostic identifiers are no longer just a community proposal. Browsers can now natively recognize and process them. That's game-changing for blockchain interoperability.

Why? Because it breaks down silos. Instead of each chain reinventing the wheel, you get a unified identifier system that works across networks. Developers can build with less friction. Users experience smoother cross-chain interactions.

This is the kind of infrastructure upgrade that rarely makes headlines but quietly powers the next wave of Web3 adoption. When standards go official, adoption accelerates.

ngl this is the real infrastructure, unlike those flashy projects that boast every day.

Another infrastructure upgrade, this time officially announced. But whether it will truly be implemented depends on how the ecosystem follows up; having standards alone without adoption is pointless.
