Overview
An interoperability layer is infrastructure enabling cross-chain communication and transfers. It connects the multi-chain ecosystem. It is the backbone of cross-chain apps.
How It Works
The layer routes messages and assets between chains via bridges and protocols. Applications integrate it for cross-chain features. This unifies the ecosystem.
Why It Matters
Interoperability layers enable a connected Web3 where assets and data move freely. They are essential to multi-chain adoption. Their security underpins trust.
