A thread about Interchain Attestation (prev. Pessimistic Validation) and what it solves.
TLDR; it enables direct

connectivity (with no intermediary chains) with any chain where you can't/don't have a light client.
Optimistic rollups, Ethereum, whatever

I had a conversation today where we talked about how crypto seems to go through many of the same phases that web2 did - albeit quite accelerated.
And this is how much of the web work today: it is not synchronous at all. Everything from a “like” and video view counts to complex
"Synchronous atomic composability is very overrated"
Been saying this for years now... sorry monolithic maxis, we don't need a single atomic global state machine.
We need an internet of asynchronous modular blockchains 🤷♂️

In my mind
@StargazeZone
is ultimately not about jpegs. I like to think a bit further when it comes to NFTs and they have potential to unlock a lot powerful use cases.
...and I think
@shan3v
has that vision.
(This is also why we validate with
@EmpowerValidate
there)
🧵1/ What is
@StargazeZone
& $STARS and what does it unlock for Web3?
NFTs often get stuck on their own blockchains - reducing their utility and access to cross-chain liquidity.
Stargaze aims to solve this by being both an interoperability hub and marketplace for

Here I disagree. We won't have true traction until we have real-world use cases that real-world people use. Until then it's all play.
What we need to focus on is not another stack, but getting my mom, sister-in-law and everyone else to see value.
It's time to focus.
The app chain thesis won’t have true traction until there is a second stack beyond the IBC,Tendermint,Cosmos-SDK stack with traction among builders
