The landscape of blockchain technology has evolved dramatically in recent years. We've witnessed the rapid development of scalable solutions and a shift from monolithic, siloed blockchains to an ecosystem that consists of highly modular and interoperable chains, including Layer 2 solutions (L2s) and application-specific blockchains. Yet, despite these advancements, blockchain still faces a significant user experience (UX) issue—fragmentation. Users and developers alike are burdened with technical complexity that comes with navigating multiple blockchain networks, switching between wallets, and managing gas fees in different tokens.
By focusing on Chain Abstraction, MANTRA seeks to simplify and unify the Web3 experience, making it more accessible to the everyday user. Just as the Internet evolved from a technically complex system to a user-friendly network, blockchain technology needs to undergo a similar transformation to reach mass adoption.
