Avail co-founders: Currently, most chain abstraction technologies make the crypto ecosystem more fragmented

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun stated that the current majority of chain abstraction technologies make the crypto ecosystem more fragmented, as each different blockchain base layer has its own set of security assumptions, which makes interoperability between chains challenging.

Arjun explained, "They have their own set of validators and cryptoeconomic security. Therefore, you have to create infrastructure called light clients, such as bi-directional light clients. This is often the main bottleneck."

He added that bridging between chains is often a multi-step process for communication between blockchain networks, which comes with high costs and security risks, while isolating users and capital into fragmented pools.
