# Thesis: Multi-chain is inevitable due to optimisation & scaling ***tldr;*** The tight coupling and shared state of a Coupling can be really helpful for some applications good or bad. There are enough use cases for blockchains that want to run an independent state machine that Eth / Solana won't be a one size fits all. ## Questions * What situations can't ethereum handle? (e.g Osmosis consesus tweak to stop front running) * Does this imply Bridging vs IBC vs PolkaDot parachain * How much scale can ethereum get? * Can bridges work? * multiple wrappings can reduce security and cause confusion - sifchain said they had an answer also auto unwrapping to smallest amount of bridges * compsibility across bridges * a-sync vs sync * How are we tracking this? * Should we try to model where value will end up. * How big an opportunity is this? * 100s of Billions * Timeframe around this thesis? * Months/Years
