Chain Abstraction Is the Next Frontier for Web3:- Many of today's purported #dapps fall short of being true decentralized applications. If users must exit the application to engage with it, it's merely a frontend. Requiring manual onboarding through exchanges, managing multiple accounts, gas fees, and bridges begs the question: is it truly an app? Likely not, which may explain why only a fraction of the world's population utilizes #dapps. For Web3 to gain mainstream acceptance and foster a more open, decentralized internet that empowers individuals, we must raise the bar. The prevailing focus in Web3 centers around modularity — separating 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. However, this proliferation of blockchains and rollups results in a disjointed experience for users and developers alike. Modularity, and the resultant myriad of chains, fragments liquidity, apps, and users, leading to complexity unsuitable for mainstream adoption. Developers, pressured to commit to a specific tech stack, inadvertently limit their application's reach by choosing a single chain. A superior vision for Ethereum and Web3 is to collaborate on advancing mainstream adoption through chain abstraction. The concept is to remove blockchains as barriers to entry or participation for users. NEAR has championed this vision since 2018 and boasts the most users of any network in Web3 today: 12.4 million monthly active accounts and 34 million accounts overall. To defragment Web3 and onboard billions of users via #dapps, let's pursue chain abstraction collaboratively. NEAR enabling Chain Abstraction by :- Since its inception in 2018, the NEAR ecosystem has been steadfastly working towards 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. Presently, the ecosystem has expanded to support full chain abstraction across various chains and app types. Here's an overview of NEAR's stack and capabilities: Scalable, Integrated Blockchain: Designed 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.
