Rethinking cross-chain design deserves serious attention. The current approach mostly stacks extra layers on top of existing chains and relies on everything working smoothly—but that's fragile. When a single component fails, the whole system becomes vulnerable. Instead of endless patches and workarounds, we need fundamental redesign of how cross-chain interactions actually work. The industry keeps building on the same flawed foundations rather than asking whether the architecture itself needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
