Many L1 projects are caught in a classic dilemma—security, scalability, and decentralization, which are difficult to achieve simultaneously, often forcing a choice of two. But what if we change the perspective? Distributing security across multiple blockchain networks, allowing the consensus layer to draw security guarantees from each network, could this simultaneously address these three pain points? This cross-chain security distribution model might break the long-standing trade-off curse of the L1 layer.
