I’ve recently started doubting that fragmentation is merely a growing pain cryptocurrency adoption has to suffer through. Earlier today I found myself opening positions on three different networks within milliseconds of each other hoping to capitalize on a fleeting opportunity in the market. Before I knew it, I was caught in traffic: waiting on a bridge, swapping into gas tokens, waiting for my wallet to approve transactions all at once.
At the time I wrote it off as par for the course of being early. Decentralized. Native. The more I thought about it however, the worse it sounded. If efficiency of capital requires jumping through hoops of fragmented infrastructure just to execute a trade are we really creating open ecosystems? Or are we lowering the network down to a place where only bots and automations can survive the friction?
That moment really got me thinking about projects like Genius Terminal. Sure interacting with their system is easier on the eyes (and fingers), but there lies a much larger question. Where are execution layers on blockchain networks really going?
For years we’ve impressed upon the world that people no longer need centralized intermediaries to maintain custody of their assets. The real problem we face today is different. How do we achieve the velocity and fluidity of a single workspace while maintaining sovereignty of our keys?
Paragraph one...
The more institutional players come into the space modular layers and cross-chain execution will become standard operate. I don’t think the future is just a web of bridges connecting silo’d blockchains to each other. I think the future is trustless networks with opaque underlying chains and sessions that don’t require signatures every two seconds.
Paragraph two...
If we can achieve this level of seamless integration, the user workflows we could enable would be unprecedented. So I ask you, what’s more important to the future of crypto: increasing cross-chain volume, or creating seamless terminals?
