  1. Technical Concept

Multi-Chain Interaction

Modern applications require interaction with multiple blockchains for different functionalities, such as payments, identity management, and data storage. This trend is accelerating with the increasing adoption of Layer-1 and Layer-2 solutions.

Traditional synchronized and even light clients are impractical for multi-chain interaction due to their resource-intensive nature. Trusted RPC endpoints are also not a viable solution, as they require users to blindly trust responses without cryptographic verification, introducing centralization risks and potential attack vectors.

Stateless and trustless clients offer a scalable and trustless alternative. As long as cryptographic proofs are available, these clients can efficiently retrieve and verify data from multiple blockchains without relying on trusted intermediaries. This approach is particularly beneficial for IoT applications, mobile applications, and web-based platforms, where devices operate under strict resource constraints but still require secure blockchain interaction.

By leveraging stateless verification, blockchain-based applications can seamlessly integrate with multiple chains, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and security without unnecessary synchronization overhead.
