Vitalik is hopeful for multichain, not cross-chain, Web3 globe
Vitalik Buterin, a founder of Ethereum, shared an honest analysis of the safety constraints in carrying out totally practical cross-chain bridges within the blockchain market.
Buterin said that saving properties on their indigenous chain supplies a greater degree of safety versus 51% assaults than cross-chain tasks, mentioning, “It’s always safer to hold Ethereum-native assets on Ethereum or Solana-native assets on Solana than it is to hold Ethereum-native assets on Solana or Solana-native assets on Ethereum.”
My debate for why the future will certainly be *multi-chain*, however it will certainly not be *cross-chain*: there are essential limitations to the safety of bridges that jump throughout numerous “zones of sovereignty”. From https://t.co/3g1GUvuA3A: pic.twitter.com/tEYz8vb59b

In one of the most severe situations, individuals’ funds would certainly stay risk-free also if 99% of the procedure was endangered due to the fact that nodes would extremely sustain the continuing to be 1% rule-following blocks and also, as a result, control the decision-making.
In comparison, an event of this kind operating on a cross-chain bridge in between Ethereum and also Solana, for instance, would certainly lead to irreparable losses, Buterin suggests. The trouble substances with the enhancement of chains.
Let’s mean a 51% assault takes place on a solitary of 50 chains. In that situation, every one of them come to be at risk in what he refers to as a “systemic contagion that threatens the economy of that entire ecosystem.”
