What the Fragmentation
summary
Panelists diagnose liquidity split across hundreds of L1s/L2s and note that few protocols actually move tokens between chains, not just UI friction: Fluidity's incentives layer aims to reward wallet-to-wallet token mobility and a project called superp position is due to launch; cross-chain smart contracts and CCIP are discussed as partial fixes; proposals include a universal gateway for one-entry/exit and emerging custodians and token aggregators that harvest idle liquidity; work on quantum-safe primitives (KZG alternatives, Poseidon/MiMC choices) is ongoing and no single solution yet unifies everything.
