The perfect user-facing applied sciences are invisible to customers and end-users. Their widespread adoption will depend on this invisibility.
Think about the legacy web which now has over 5.4 billion customers. Not to mention digital-native GenZs and Gen Alphas, even Boomers can simply use Web2 services. A lot so, they comprise 18.3% of U.S. web customers, regardless of spending most of their lives within the pre-internet period.
That’s the facility of abstraction, i.e. the method of hiding technical complexities from the consumer expertise. Customers pays with their banking app even when they don’t perceive how VISA or Mastercard allows these funds. Identical with AI-powered suggestions on Amazon, Netflix, and many others.
However Web3 is lagging on this entrance. Its UX is very difficult and fragmented, with completely different wallets and belongings/tokens for various chains with low native interoperability. Devs face related points that undercut effectivity and safety.
All these are vital elements stopping Web3 from attaining internet-scale adoption. Thus Arcana Community has pioneered a series abstraction module to repair the issue.
In accordance with Arcana Co-Founder, Mayur Relekar, “Alongside our auth and gasoline charges abstractions, the most recent chain abstraction module allows a fully-interoperable, user-friendly, and capital-efficient consumer expertise, from onboarding to cross-chain transfers and every little thing in between.”

The ache factors of fragmentation
Roughly 4.2 million every day Distinctive Energetic Wallets (dUAWs) interacted with dApps on the shut of 2023. The quantity stands at 10.4 million in June 2024.
dUAW serves as a working proxy for customers, so these figures signify a bullish sign on the floor. However a better look reveals a fragmented actuality.
The ten+ million wallets or customers are broadly scattered throughout 150+ blockchains, with better focus within the high 10-20 like Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Base, Binance Good Chain, and many others.
Additional, the fast growth of Layer-2s, Layer-3s, Sidechains, and many others., is worsening the scenario. There are 58 L2 initiatives and 17 L3 initiatives already. At the very least 53 extra within the pipeline.

Customers want varied belongings/tokens to work together with varied protocols or initiatives — even after they’re in the identical ecosystem. For instance, $MATIC — Polygon’s native token — doesn’t work on Ethereum L1, although Polygon is EVM-compatible. Plus, generally they must deposit funds even earlier than making an attempt a dApp, which clearly isn’t welcome.

Cross-chain asset transfers are additionally an excessive amount of problem for potential customers and a every day ache for energy customers. Easy actions like sending USDT contain many steps: bridging, swapping, and many others. And often, there’s a payment at every step, irrespective of how small.

As a result of customers and liquidity are fragmented throughout chains, devs are compelled to chase them by deploying clones of their apps in varied ecosystems. Sadly, that’s the true state (and extent) of cross-chain options presently. It’s an edifice constructed on advert hoc, inefficient workarounds.

Furthermore, the overdependence on bridges ends in extreme capital inefficiencies. Per information from Everclear (previously, Connext), roughly 80% of every day volumes for cross-chain DeFi protocols might be netted. It means customers are sending 5x extra liquidity by way of bridges than vital, thereby paying extra for gasoline, and many others.

Defragmenting Web3 with chain abstraction
Arcana’s answer will make sure that customers can solely deal with the dApp they’re utilizing and the end result they’re in search of. Be it sending crypto or offering liquidity to AMMs. They don’t want to fret about what chain(s) the app is working on or what native token it’s utilizing.
As Mayur says, “Our providing eliminates friction factors by permitting customers to easily login with their present Web2 credentials and have all their Web3 belongings readily accessible with none chain hassles.”
Virtually, this implies customers can work together with any dApp on any chain with out holding any particular asset or token. Somebody with ETH of their pockets can use a Solana or BSC-based dApp and so forth.
They’ll even see a unified stability for funds held on varied chains and might spend it as they select, the place they select.

Arcana will thus ease the Web3 consumer’s journey at each stage whereas serving each app, each chain, and each token sort.
Its chain abstraction module will disrupt bridges and unlock native interoperability, main to higher capital effectivity. For instance, it’ll eradicate pointless bridging transactions by optimally utilizing the vacation spot chain’s liquidity.
Apart from fixing consumer and liquidity fragmentation — whereas optimizing capital effectivity — Arcana’s answer reduces friction for builders.
“Builders can construct on any chain that most closely fits their app’s wants and enterprise pursuits,” says Mayur.
Notably, nonetheless, the framework enabling such defragmentation and UX simplification is very complicated and multi-layered. It implements cutting-edge improvements like state machines to take care of consumer balances, Distributed Key Technology (DKG) for decentralization, and so forth.

That end-users don’t get the slightest whiff of Arcana’s complicated L1 structure — until they need to and skim the open-source docs — is a proof of success. It’s an instance for initiatives aiming to onboard the subsequent one billion customers to Web3.
Empowering customers and making life higher, simpler for them is the endgame. The highly effective Web3 stack will actually mature when it capabilities silently beneath the hood. Arcana is catalyzing this actuality with its progressive instruments and techniques — a user-friendly and seamless Web3 future is coming quickly.
