Chain abstraction is inevitable: Particle and the multichain UX problem
Quote194 words
Argues thousands of app-specific chains solve scaling but fragment UX, so chain abstraction is needed. Highlights Particle's universal account signing across more than 50 chains with gas paid in any token.
Key claims
Particle users can sign transactions across more than 50 blockchains
Chain abstraction is inevitable.
1000s of app- and vertical-specific blockchains solve the scalability problem and enable new use cases onchain.
But without ways of abstracting the complexity of the fragmented backend towards the end user, the modular thesis introduces new problems that are equally impactful on the user experience.
To bring crypto apps to mass adoption, we need a seamless and cohesive multichain UX.
Protocols like @ParticleNtwrk are building solutions to enable that.
With @ParticleNtwrk, users can sign transactions across >50 blockchains from one universal account.
This enables a unified user experience and includes the abstraction of gas payments in different tokens across different chains.
Users have universal balances across all chains and aren't subject to the complexity of bridging between chains.
There are many other approaches in the market as well, and the overall stack consists of multiple distinct layers each with specialized players.
Will dive more into this soon and @therollupco's Chain Abstraction Market Map will be the basis for that.
