Unifying Blockchains: Innovations for Seamless Interoperability
summary
Panel lays out concrete interoperability options and trade-offs: $2B lost to bridge hacks (Ronin, multichain exploits) pushes focus to ZK light-client bridges and client-verifiable cross-chain state, versus pragmatic mint-and-burn and optimism/intent routing; a proposed bridge aggregation (Hashi) compares multiple relayed headers to raise attack cost; Polkadot reports ~50 parachains and shared-security primitives, Cardano experiments with partner chains (alpha) and an IBC bridge under audit, and restaking raises cascading-slash risks — some solutions work now, others remain experimental.
