In today's episode, Michael chats with Nikhil Suri from the Wormhole Foundation about the future of multichain and interoperability in crypto. They discuss the challenges of creating a seamless user experience across different chains, the role of general message passing protocols like Wormhole, and the potential impact of zero-knowledge proofs on scaling and security. Nikhil also shares his thoughts on the social challenges of interoperability standards adoption and the current product-market fit for cross-chain applications, particularly in the realm of token transfers and multichain governance.
