Interoperability (Cosmos’ IBC, Polkadot’s parachains) lets blockchains share data, boosting ecosystem efficiency—2024’s Cosmos DeFi TVL rose 60%. It reduces “silos” (e.g., Ethereum-Solana asset transfers). Risks: technical bugs (cross-chain hacks) and competition. Investors should assess interoperability protocol usage (transaction volume) and security records to pick leaders in this space.
