Polygon's article points out that the blockchain industry is currently facing an island problem, which leads to fragmented liquidity and affects user experience. The island problem means that there is a lack of effective connection and communication between different blockchains and platforms, limiting the free flow of value and information across networks, thereby hindering actual operations for users and markets. To address this issue, Polygon proposes that it is time to dismantle these barriers and unify Web3 through aggregation to unleash its full potential. The introduction of an aggregation layer will allow each platform to gain more liquidity and users across all connected chains, enabling any exchange to offer any asset, regardless of which network it is on, without the need for network integration to list new tokens. Such improvements will fundamentally change the DeFi space, enhancing innovations like unified yield farming, allowing users to seamlessly obtain asset returns across multiple chains without relying on any third-party bridges or wrapped tokens. The aggregation approach will also benefit tokenized real-world assets, addressing the lack of cross-chain settlement between blockchains, thus achieving a true cross-chain market. By dismantling these island barriers, the blockchain industry can expect better liquidity, improved user experience, and the release of market potential.
