War and Peace: The Multi-Chain Reality
summary
Panel debates concrete interoperability tradeoffs: IBC hub-and-spoke vs sharded relay chains, live examples like Moonbeam and parachains, and tooling choices such as light-client bridges and optimistic rollups. Claims: shared security lets parachains avoid buying validators, sovereign chains keep bespoke security; finality matters for trading latency and real‑time reads, so ParSiq‑style offchain listeners and tBTC‑style bridges get discussed. Expect arguments about permissionless onboarding, SDKs for EVM compatibility, and which approach already has working testnets.
