This article explores the economic value and role of cross-chain bridges in blockchain ecosystems. Likened to internet routers, these bridges efficiently route capital between different blockchain networks, optimizing transaction efficiency. They generate economic value through transaction fees, relay fees, and liquidity provider returns. Unlike traditional routers, cross-chain bridges have a unique profit model reflecting blockchain technology's nature. As the market matures, these bridges increasingly influence cross-chain capital transfers.
Recently, the TGE (Token Generation Event) allocations of projects like Blast have sparked a wave of public outrage, reflecting dissatisfaction with the extended incentive periods that offer low returns. This article explores the strengths and weaknesses of points-based models from multiple perspectives and seeks to identify potential solutions.
The ICOs of 2017, the DeFi that heralded the bull market of 2020, the mainstreaming of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in 2021, and the scaling solutions such as EVM-compatible chains and Layer2 Rollups driven by a surge in user demand, all these notable blockchain innovations are inseparable from a blockchain named Ethereum. This article will guide you through what Ethereum is, how it operates, the important trajectories of its development, and some of its well-known applications.
