Chain Abstraction Represents the Next Paradigm in Web3:- Numerous so-called #dapps today lack the essence of true decentralized applications. When users must exit the application for engagement, it's essentially a frontend. The necessity for manual onboarding through exchanges, management of multiple accounts, gas fees, and bridges raises doubts: is it genuinely an app? Likely not, which might elucidate why only a fraction of the world's population engages with #dapps. For Web3 to achieve widespread acceptance and cultivate a more inclusive, decentralized internet that empowers individuals, we must set higher standards. The predominant focus in Web3 revolves around modularity — segregating blockchain's functional layers (settlement, data availability, execution) to enhance scalability. Layer-twos, optimistic and ZK rollups, data availability layers, sidechains, and state channels exemplify modularity solutions. Nevertheless, the proliferation of blockchains and rollups results in a fragmented experience for users and developers alike. Modularity, and the subsequent multitude of chains, fragments liquidity, apps, and users, leading to complexity unsuitable for mainstream adoption. Developers, constrained to a specific tech stack, inadvertently restrict their application's outreach by selecting a single chain. An elevated vision for Ethereum and Web3 entails collaborating to promote mainstream adoption through chain abstraction. The idea is to eliminate blockchains as barriers to entry or participation for users. NEAR has been championing this vision since 2018 and boasts the highest number of users of any network in Web3 today: 12.4 million monthly active accounts and 34 million accounts overall. To streamline Web3 and onboard billions of users via #dapps, let's collectively pursue chain abstraction. NEAR Facilitating Chain Abstraction by :- Since its inception in 2018, the NEAR ecosystem has diligently pursued the chain abstraction vision. It has prioritized usability, a flexible account model, and a highly scalable blockchain capable of accommodating mainstream apps with billions of users. Currently, the ecosystem supports full chain abstraction across various chains and app types. Here's a glimpse of NEAR's stack and capabilities: Scalable, Integrated Blockchain: Engineered to scale to over 1 billion daily active accounts. Security Aggregation Stack: Comprising NEAR Data Availability (DA), zkWASM (in collaboration with Polygon Labs), and EigenLayer-powered Fast Finality for enhanced security. Account Aggregation: Facilitating transactions across all chains using a single account. Data Layer: Supporting a wide range of chains (monolithic, integrated, modular, private, and permissioned) and offering predictable data querying protocols. Intent Relayers: Capable of executing complex intents across chains using the provided infrastructure. Decentralized Frontends: Enabling discoverability and composability for multiple apps across chains, consolidating them into a unified user experience. Super Wallets: User-friendly wallets providing seamless navigation across Web3 without the need to switch networks or manage gas tokens and bridges.
