It's honestly ironic when you think about it. Permissionless composability gets hyped as THE fundamental advantage of blockchain architecture — the whole point of being trustless and interoperable. Yet here we are, watching the two biggest consumer-facing chains struggle to implement a functional two-way bridge between them.

Like, wasn't this supposed to be the easy part? The technology exists. The standards are there. But apparently building infrastructure that actually works across major ecosystems is still too complicated for the industry leaders. Makes you wonder if all that talk about seamless interoperability was just marketing fluff.

Maybe the real challenge isn't the tech itself, but getting competing ecosystems to actually cooperate. Or maybe it's just harder than anyone wants to admit.
