These kinds of interoperability challenges have existed since Web3’s inception. Look no further than the two most prominent public blockchains: Bitcoin and Ethereum. On the surface, connecting these two networks seems obvious. Yet, the result of the industry’s best efforts is a collection of distinct stop-gap solutions, each requiring concessions in security, scalability, decentralization, or scope. As the CEO of the industry’s longest-running interoperability solution, Wanchain, I’ve witnessed all the progress we’ve made as an industry. Yet, I also recognize just how far we still are from true interoperability.
