Why is moving money between chains still scarier than the early internet?
Opportunity
Bridges remain the most exploited part of crypto, and the user is the one carrying the risk. We still have no default-safe way to move value across chains the way TCP/IP made moving packets boring and reliable.
Why it matters
Until cross-chain transfer is boring, mainstream money will not trust it.
How I score the opportunity
The Opportunity Score is my own read, not a measurement: how much it hurts, how often it bites, and how little exists to solve it today. Higher means I think it is more worth building.
How much pain it causes when it shows up.
How often people actually run into it.
How little good tooling exists for it today.
More problems worth solving
Why can't I prove I am solvent without showing my balance?
BlockchainWhy does compliance still mean a PDF and a prayer?
BlockchainWhy is self-custody still a choice between losing your keys and trusting a company?
BlockchainWhy does tokenizing a real asset still need ten middlemen?
BlockchainWhy can't a stablecoin pay someone with no internet?
BlockchainWhy does a bridge exploit drain everything before any alarm fires?
