While everyone on X is complaining about L2 fragmentation, cracked engineers are delivering solutions.

Interoperability is coming to Ethereum in 2025. 

The @optimism Interoperable Superchain gives us:
✅ Unified wallet balances
✅ Low-latency cross-chain transfers
✅ No network switching
✅ & opens up a whole new design space for exciting apps

This diagram shows how ERC20 tokens are seamlessly bridged between OP Stack chains.

Why is it that the contract *should* be deployed at the same address on each chain? Why not just make that an automated step in the process to provide absolute verification that tokens can't get rugged *ever*. Why leave that hole open when it's the total nuclear meltdown failure scenario? 

Questions on my mind 😂

Is there a scenario where any of the paths one might choose would want the contacts at different addresses tho?

Pardon my cluelessness, this was just the biggest point of risk/confusion when evaluating cross chain compatibility. 

I get being flexible to support options. Just don't fully understand the technical use case so can't comprehend the risk!
