The article discusses the concept of Web3 and its evolution towards an omnichain system. Web3 is described as a self-sovereign internet, a foundation for financial freedom, an open data exchange layer, and a mechanism for speculating on cryptocurrencies. The author highlights that Web3 operates on multiple chains, but the ability to bridge and explore these chains has been limited. However, advancements in infrastructure, interoperability protocols, and other innovations have significantly reduced the friction of moving data and assets between chains. The article explains how the crypto space initially started with Bitcoin as the only viable chain and later expanded to include Ethereum and other networks. This rapid expansion has led to fragmentation and confusion for newcomers. Nevertheless, improvements in interoperability, such as dedicated routing layers and liquidity layers, have made it easier to create multi-chain decentralized applications (dapps) and execute swaps across different networks. The author emphasizes that while the technology for interoperability exists, it may take time for widespread adoption. The article concludes by stating that the goal of true interoperability will be achieved when it becomes seamless and people stop talking about it.
