Do you remember the turning point in 2018? At that time, a well-known cross-chain project achieved its first cross-chain connection with Ethereum. This seemingly simple step opened the door to blockchain interoperability.

Today, in just eight years, the cross-chain path has expanded to nearly 50 different blockchains. From EVM-compatible chains to MOVE-based ecosystems, and then to traditional UTXO architectures—almost all mainstream technological routes have been included. What does this mean? It means asset flow is no longer limited by the boundaries of a single chain, and DeFi gameplay has been completely rewritten.

Honestly, the crypto world is a magical place. Projects emerge endlessly and also disappear quickly. But to persist for 8 years with an active community behind it? Such projects are few and far between. Thank you all for your choices and trust over the years, giving us the opportunity to accompany your Web3 journey.

In the next 8 years, we will continue to expand and explore in the field of cross-chain interoperability. Looking forward to breaking more technological boundaries with everyone!

It's been 8 years. From the initial Bitcoin dream to now, with 50 chains interconnected, I can't tell if it's nostalgia or numbness. Honestly, in this circle, projects that have survived two bull and bear markets still dare to boast that they are "few and far between." But on the other hand, the path of interoperability has indeed been worthwhile. The improvement in asset liquidity is clearly visible.

It's really not easy to stick with it for 8 years; this circle is piled up with dead projects.

It's been 8 years and you're still here, which is really not easy in the crypto world. Connecting 50 chains, the liquidity is truly strong. But cross-chain security still needs more consideration. Since 2018, I've witnessed many projects' life and death. This kind of persistence truly deserves respect. DeFi gameplay has been rewritten, and new opportunities have emerged. Let's see what tricks you'll come up with in the next 8 years.

Eight years and still alive, this really means something Almost 50 chains now, okay, I admit it's a bit impressive But has cross-chain security really been solved, or is it just another story of a bunch of bridges

Sticking with it for 8 years is indeed not easy; other projects have already failed early.

8 years, huh? I never thought I’d still be alive, haha --- 50 chains? I’ve been saying interoperability is the future, now you believe it --- It's not easy to last this long; most projects have already failed --- Cross-chain technology sounds simple in theory, but actually implementing it is truly incredible --- But to be honest, the landscape of DeFi has indeed been rewritten, I have to admit that --- I feel like the next 8 years will be even more competitive, with even fiercer competition --- Don’t boast about technical boundaries for now, focus on ensuring security first --- Finally, I see a team willing to tell the truth, no pretenses or acting
