Too Long; Didn't Read
I’m becoming fascinated by cross-chain interoperability, or rather the lack of it for now but where it may lead and why it needs to happen. For the time being, most efforts have been channeled towards providing applications with the ability to interact with each other within the same protocol but not bridge out to other chains. This means that the most popular chains currently on the market to build with may not be the right ones to build on for the long term. One-size-fits-all protocols cannot win here because they cannot cater for every use case effectively.
