I don't know why semed a bit strange at first… Why is a protocol emphasizing so much on “cross-chain verification”?
I mean actually…
We already share data - there is an API, a databes… so what's new ? But think about it, the real problem not data… trust. One country's e-visa, or medical records, these are technically possible to share, but another country's system trust them? This is where they want to change the game, I mean they want to. Sign that says - don't send data, send proof. That means, without giving the whole record, just prove that - this information is valid, this credential is genuine. But thing is really interesting. Suppose, if you go abroad - they don't need your entire medical history, they just need to confirm whether you vacinated or whether the report is legit. If this can be verified in a chain-agnostic way… then interoperablity actually becomes real. The idea is honestly quite solid. This can a big unlock, especially for global coordination. But I'm still stuck at one point... Who will define this "valid proof"? Schema, verifier.- If these layers are not neutral, then entire system will fall into trust bottleneck again. Another thing - adoption does not come if everything is technically possible. Government system, legacy infra... These are not easy change. So for me it is still - interesting direction, but not final answer.
Execution is the real test...👍
