The complexity of blockchain underlying technologies is increasing, and the issue of cross-chain liquidity needs to be addressed urgently. Firstly, there are numerous proof-of-stake (PoS) public chains in Layer 1 (L1), and new competitors are expected to continue emerging. Secondly, the development of Layer 2 and the introduction of modular blockchains make multi-layered blockchains more feasible. In the future, we might even see the appearance of Layers 3 and 4. In this context, multi-chain liquid staking becomes an important issue worth attention.
