Insights Chain Abstraction vs Account Abstraction (ft. Safe, Biconomy, Alchemy & Klaster): "Not All Abstractions Are Made Equal" 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
Ecosystem Beyond UX: dApps On The Need For Chain Abstraction 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
Insights Is Web3 Over-Investing In Infrastructure? Diving Into 2024’s Hottest Debate 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
Community Universal Accounts Are Going Live! Here’s What’s Next and How To Prepare for It You read it well: Universal Accounts are going live!

Ecosystem Beating the ChA Drum: Q&A with Taiko on Chain Abstraction, its Ecosystem, and Embracing a Borderless Web3 It’s safe to say that Web3’s ecosystem of L2s and modular blockchains has finally solved scalability. Nowadays, cost-effective, expansive blockspace is accessible to any developer and end-user, defeating some of Web3’s major infrastructural issues. This marks the end of an era for Web3, leading to a new

Preface We first assembled the Chain Abstraction Coalition with the goal of
Insights Blockchain Interoperability & Chain Abstraction: Deeply Intertwined, But Not The Same Ever since the first smart contract networks appeared, the blockchain interoperability sector emerged with a clear goal: allowing users to freely navigate a multi-chain panorama, regardless of different blockchains’ standards, architecture, and economic structures. Meanwhile, the race to build better blockchains and scale existing ones hasn’t stopped. This has
Ecosystem Embracing the Chain Abstraction Experience: Q&A with Sei Chain abstraction is a natural response to Web3’s organic expansion. As new chains, L2s, and rollups emerge, the interconnectivity and seamless experience of chain abstraction (ChA) have become a top priority for our ecosystem. For blockchains themselves, this means a shift to a paradigm where they can compete based
Product Chain Abstraction Coalition: Our First Co-Testnet Is Now Live on Particle Pioneer! It’s time for action. Last week, we announced the Chain Abstraction Coalition: a groundbreaking collaboration of Web3's leading ecosystems, united in the mission of tackling our ecosystem’s fragmentation. This coalition brings together prominent networks like Arbitrum, Berachain, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Linea, and Botanix, all committed to
Ecosystem Many Blockchains, One Mission: Introducing The Chain Abstraction Coalition Blockchains brought you decentralization, at the cost of clunkiness. Modularity brought you scalability, at the cost of fragmentation. Chain abstraction is ending fragmentation to bring you freedom. The blockchain ecosystem’s rapid expansion has resulted in unprecedented scalability and cost-effectiveness. Yet, it has also led to an unprecedented problem: fragmentation.
Ecosystem We’ve Raised $25M to Unify All Chains! Dear community, We’re proud to announce that Particle Network has officially raised $25 Million to continue funding our vision of chain abstraction.

Ecosystem Breaking Down Chain Abstraction: Foundational Solutions Way before modular blockchains and the L2 explosion, L1 optimization was the hottest conversation in Web3. The ecosystem assumed that a handful of networks would compete on equal terms for most of Web3’s activity. Instead, Web3 entered an era of modular expansion. This is already yielding hundreds and, eventually,
Insights State of Web3 Fragmentation: Addressing Web3's Biggest Problem & Its Solution We’ve talked extensively about Web3’s biggest problem: the fragmentation of users and liquidity across siloed blockchain networks. By now, it should be clear that this is a real problem hurting Web3 users’ experience almost regardless of preferred use cases and individual goals. However, it is rarely discussed that
