The Need for Seamless Blockchain Integration
Horizontal scaling is essential for achieving true mass scale in blockchain technology, necessitating multiple chains to operate in parallel. Just as the internet achieves its massive scale by connecting numerous servers rather than relying on a single large one, blockchains must work cohesively to deliver a unified user experience. The concept of interoperability or 'interop' is vital for this purpose, enabling diverse blockchains to feel like one cohesive system. By developing such interop, projects like Unichain aim to make interactions across various chains seamless, akin to how users navigate the internet without having to manage multiple servers.
