Navigating the Chain Abstraction Landscape: A Multi-Faceted Analysis

Navigating the Chain Abstraction Landscape: A Multi-Faceted Analysis

As Web3 scales faster and faster within a rich L2/rollup panorama, the need for a unified user experience across chains grows exponentially. This makes chain abstraction –infrastructure unifying multi-chain asset and account management, solving the current fragmentation across ecosystems– a top priority in today’s landscape. The development of

Chain Abstraction for Bitcoin L2s: How BTC Connect Enables Hyperconnectivity

Chain Abstraction for Bitcoin L2s: How BTC Connect Enables Hyperconnectivity

A few months ago, we released BTC Connect, the first account abstraction (AA) protocol for the Bitcoin ecosystem. This release was motivated by two goals: Furthering the interconnection of the Bitcoin and EVM networks, and enabling a natural way for Bitcoin users to onboard into L2s without relying on non-Bitcoin

The Modular L1 Powering Chain Abstraction: Particle Network

TL;DR: * L2s and rollups deliver the scalability blockchains need, but resulting in siloed ecosystems. Meanwhile, cross-chain interactions are too costly and difficult, creating an undeniable industry-wide User Experience tradeoff. * Particle Network’s modular L1 powers chain abstraction, making the experience of interacting with a multi-chain ecosystem invisible to users.

Breaking Through Chain Abstraction on Bitcoin: BTC Connect

Breaking Through Chain Abstraction on Bitcoin: BTC Connect

The Bitcoin ecosystem has entered an accelerated growth and evolution phase. Many consider that 2023 and 2024 will be remembered as the years of bleeding-edge Web3 innovation arrived at Bitcoin. Amongst this revolution, a growing ecosystem of EVM-compatible L2s, Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and new dApps has sparked. However, despite abundant

SocialFi & Decentralized Social Media for the Masses: The Role of Smart WaaS Tools.

The history of decentralized social media is one of trial and error. Also referred to as “DeSo” or “DeSoc”, decentralized social media emerged as early as 2010 to create an alternative to traditional social platforms, which unilaterally curate user-generated content while profiting from it while appropriating users’ data. As social

Fully On-Chain Gaming: Can Smart Wallet-as-a-Service tools be a much-needed "final push"?

Fully On-Chain Gaming: Can Smart Wallet-as-a-Service tools be a much-needed "final push"?

Fully on-chain gaming is still a somewhat obscure niche. For crypto OGs and those deep into the scene, the allure of games that exist regardless of whether their creators continue facilitating them and are endlessly, permissionlessly interoperable is fascinating. For others, the difficulties surrounding the creation and playing of these

Intent-Centric Design: Repackaging Account Abstraction, or Evolving It Further?

“Intent-centric” as an approach to architecture or product design has recently sparked many discussions, some of them questioning the term’s significance. The skepticism towards the term primarily comes from two perspectives: 1. Some argue that it feels abstract and narrative-driven, making it challenging to implement in practice. People in
