At present, your DeFi product needs to be multichain to be competitive — this is the hard (and exciting) truth of 2021. Whether you’re building a wallet, a lending service or a DeFi game, your target audience knows that there is more to the crypto space than Ethereum. And they expect you to provide the best of all worlds.
It seems there will always be a debate about which blockchain makes for the best foundation for projects. Enhanced security, low transaction costs and formidable speed — there will always be a chain that offers bigger advantages. As the speculators argue over the next potential “Ethereum killer,” a new multichain reality is forming that has a less stark competitive implication. Instead of a dog-eat-dog framework, the future of blockchain and DeFi will favor those products that mesh into a cooperative multichain user solution and eventually forget those that stay isolated.
