Solana has crashed again, and the Ethereum mainnet is still the same – it gets ridiculously expensive whenever there's congestion. To be honest, these issues are no longer news.
The essence of the problem is clear: cramming everything into one chain will eventually burst. Performance, security, decentralization, this triangular dilemma is there, and no one can get around it.
So why do I think the Syndicate project is worth paying attention to?
They didn't play the game of "we can achieve a perfect single chain"; instead, they directly acknowledged that a single chain has its limits. Since that's the case, there's no need to stubbornly insist on it; moving towards a multi-chain direction is the right path.
What Syndicate aims to do sounds uncomplicated, but the ambition is considerable: to enable developers to easily deploy applications across multiple chains without having to worry about the characteristics of each chain. This idea is quite pragmatic.
The evolution of technology has never relied on stubbornly sticking to one direction, but rather on recognizing reality and finding new paths.
