To survive super narratives, dapps are going modular. @Polymarket made it clear. Yet more modularity means more fragmentation. More friction. More weakness. How can we finally bring the pieces back together? #0xPolygon #Polymarket #Web3 #Layer2 #Blockchain #Modular

THIS IS OUR VISION: not one chain to rule them, but one consensus that unites them. A multichain universe with a single, verifiable reality at its core. #Async — where asynchronous worlds finally find resolution. (6/6) #Web3 #layer1 #Async

So Async builds a #consensus #layer above the noise — a place where signatures converge, where verification becomes universal, where finality is no longer local but shared. (5/6)

Async starts from a different philosophy: you cannot collapse worlds back into one timeline, but you can reconcile the truths that matter. You can let chains remain sovereign while ensuring they still inhabit the same fabric of verification. (4/6)

Most existing solutions try to force synchronization. They pass messages, relay states, mirror blocks — attempting to stitch timelines back together at the surface. But synchronization is not the same as shared truth. You can transmit data without reconciling meaning. You can

Each #blockchain ticks to its own clock, writes its own ledger, and drifts a little further from any shared sense of truth. We’ve built a universe of parallel timelines — sovereign, creative, powerful — yet increasingly unaware of one another. A multichain world, yes. But also

Why “Async”? In programming, asynchronous execution means: A system can initiate long-running tasks, continue operating without waiting, and later reconcile results when they are ready — without forcing everything into a single timeline. This model was born from complexity. From

The reality is clear: an ever-expanding wave of independent chains and ecosystems is surging into Web3. Yet much of the foundational infrastructure is not ready to support so many sovereign networks. Async is building the answer — for this moment, for this fight. To capture the

(5) State & Data Are Fully Isolated Cross-chain verification research confirms a hard limitation: Chain A cannot natively prove Chain B’s state. Chain B cannot inherit Chain C’s finality. Every chain maintains its own “source of truth.” The more L1s we launch, the faster the

(4) Developer Stack & Security Models Are Splintered Examining the dev docs across new chains shows an expanding divergence: BFT, PoS, AVS, custom committee models, ECDSA, ED25519, BLS, hybrid provers… Each chain comes with its own rules, its own tooling, its own trust model.

(3) RPC / Gas / Bridge Standards Are Fully Incompatible No convergence ability in core infra: RPC endpoints vary in stability, rate limits, and indexing formats Gas models differ in units, currencies, and fee market logic Bridge mechanisms rely on fundamentally different

(2) Assets Get Trapped, Liquidity Gets Sliced On-chain liquidity dashboards across ecosystems show the same trend: new chains launch with shallow liquidity, isolated AMMs, and no shared depth. Assets don’t reside “on Web3” — they reside on individual islands. To move capital,

(1) Wallet Fragmentation 2025 L1s environment shows wide divergence in wallet standards: EVM, Move, Cosmos SDK, Substrate, custom VMs — each with different signing primitives. Users must maintain multiple wallets and mental models. The entry point to Web3 is fracturing, not

The Hidden Cost: Structural Fragmentation The 2025 chain boom brings variety, but also inconsistency. According to recent surveys, the blockchain ecosystem now counts over 1,000 distinct chains globally (public, private, consortium, hybrid), and even among the web3 ecosystem,

A Year of New Chain Explosion According to Rootdata, 50 Layer 1 projects have already scheduled their TGEs for 2025 — One of the largest waves of new base-layer launches in blockchain history. The data itself tells a fascinating story: 58% of these L1s are entirely funded 15

7/ So here’s the question we need to confront as an industry: Do we want an ecosystem of sovereign chains — or a network with shared truth? Without a unified state layer, is a “multichain internet” even possible?

6/ Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Chains will continue to proliferate. But without a unifying state fabric, Web3 becomes less coherent as it grows. More chains ≠ more internet. More chains = more disconnection.

5/ And bridge hacks are not “security incidents.” They’re symptoms. You can’t patch a system whose foundation itself disagrees with reality. Bridges fail because the underlying world is inconsistent.
