We went all-in for chain abstraction (ChA) in early 2024. Back then, we had an ambitious yet clear goal: creating a Web3 experience where the notion of multiple blockchains is fully invisible to users. Two years later, we can say with certainty that we put ChA on the industry’s

For years, Web3 builders have grappled with fragmentation—siloed users, liquidity, and possibilities across different blockchains.  That was, at least, until chain abstraction (ChA) and Universal Accounts changed the narrative. As we get closer to more chain-abstracted protocols hitting the market, forward-thinking teams are beginning to understand ChA as a

We hear the same thing all the time: “BUT PARTICLE, chain abstraction and account abstraction are very similar ideas, but AA hasn’t yet managed to drive high adoption! How can chain abstraction take off, then?” Indeed, ChA is often mistaken for a repackaged version of AA. This originates from

We’ve highlighted this over and over again: Fragmentation is the single largest issue standing between Web3 and consumer adoption. Usually, we focus on the ecosystem-wide imbalances that fragmentation creates: By altering the incentives of different Web3’s participants, it makes users’ experience more difficult—and, by extension, stops new

There is an ongoing discussion across Web3 regarding where development efforts and resources should be focused. There are two sides to it: * The “we need to focus on rolling out dApps ready for mass adoption” camp. This group claims Web3 should work (and invest) harder on releasing decentralized applications that
