Eight years have passed since that breakthrough moment in 2018. Back then, introducing the first cross-chain capabilities linking with Ethereum felt groundbreaking. Fast forward to today, and the vision has scaled dramatically. The network now bridges nearly 50 distinct blockchains—spanning EVM-compatible chains, MOVE-based systems, and UTXO models. Each integration represents another layer of interoperability infrastructure being woven into the ecosystem. From a handful of connections to a sprawling multi-chain network, the journey shows what focused development on cross-chain technology can achieve. The next phase? Pushing those interoperability boundaries even further. What's next will be shaped alongside the community pushing this forward together.
