A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

When cross-chain communication becomes as seamless as smart contract calls…

… it will be the biggest catalyst for app chains

Everything and anything can be its own L2!

If it could be done it would be already done.

If you develop on shared chains like Near or Cosmos ecosystem you will see the challenge and it is unlikely L2 can change this, because the challenges are fundamental.

This is why rollup centric scaling was a mistake.

Honestly too many times I feel we are increasing the scope too much

Even standard token swaps across all chains would be a massive improvement

There is 50 years of database science history on multi-phase commits.

It is never going to be simple as synchronous communcation.

What you are saying is that flying like birds is still not possible because airplanes and rockets do not flap their wings like real birds do. That is true, but the thing is that people don't care, because people can fly anyway.

The matter of fact is that engineers solve real problems for real people, whether or not you want to lose yourself in arbitrary technical nitpicking contests.

I just wanted to say that Ethereum will deliver a seamless experience across chains without anyone known how any of this works, because I thought that was the point. So I am convinced that it will work one day. And in the meantime you would do everyone a great favour to be a bit more constructive.

I think this is the wrong take. This kind of uniformed pessimism is not warranted at all in the face of progress we make quarter after quarter.

Imagine you are some wayfarer in the 15th century telling your mate that we will never be able to fly or walk on the moon. Because "if it could be done it would be done already".
