As blockchain know-how sees elevated adoption and functions throughout segments, the necessity for cross-blockchain bridging infrastructure has solely accelerated. Net 3.0 builders within the house imagine scalable blockchains in addition to cross-chain infrastructure is essential to assist knowledge and liquidity transfer seamlessly on blockchain-based platforms.
At YourStory’s launch of The Metaverse Summit – India’s first Net 3.0 convention – Ramani Ramachandran, CEO of blockchain startup Router Protocol, highlighted the necessity for scalable infrastructure layers for the subsequent wave of Net 3.0 improvements.
“Within the conventional world, you could have Visa and Mastercard doing 1000’s of transactions per second,” he mentioned, explaining that in Net 3.0, pace and scalability of blockchains shouldn’t be all the time excessive.
“So, Layer 2 protocols and rollups are including a layer of scalability on underlying blockchains. What these attempt to do is minimise the quantity of transactions carried out on the core layer of 1 chain by taking a bunch of the transactions off it and performing them on a layer 2 chain,” he mentioned.
Lately, the fast rise in Ethereum adoption has given start to a spread of L1 and L2 rivals and collaborators resembling Avalanche, Polygon, BSC and many others, in addition to non-EVM (Ethereum Digital Machine) chains resembling Solana, Terra, Algorand, and Cosmos.
As a number of blockchain ecosystems develop, liquidity continues to be fragmented throughout them. Additional, every chain has been constructing a neighborhood of Decentralised Apps (DApps) comprising platforms for buying and selling, lending, NFTs, and many others.

Constructing the metaverse
With the way forward for shared, on-line worlds, or metaverses, depending on scalable blockchains, Ram defined:
“Interoperability between scalable blockchains is essential in constructing the metaverse. As an illustration, on blockchain video games on digital platforms, there may be cross-portability of belongings throughout platforms. As well as, consumer info shouldn’t be given to a centralised firm.”
Through the session, Ram additionally touched upon how “Net 3.0 is a superb equaliser” for innovators and builders within the house.
“You do not want any fancy levels. You simply want a GitHub account, stable code and a few good concepts. The capital goes to search out you. No one’s going to even care should you went to school or not,” he mentioned.
Seeking to increase innovation in Net 3.0 and making cross-chain communication potential, Ram has been constructing Router Protocol right into a cross-chain infrastructure undertaking that helps a number of Layer 1, Layer 2, roll-up primarily based and non-rollup primarily based blockchains to speak with one another.
Not too long ago, Router Protocol raised $4.1 million in token gross sales from Coinbase Ventures, Woodstock Fund, QCP Capital, Alameda Analysis, De-Fi Capital, Polygon, Wintermute, Shima Capital, TeraSurge Capital, Maple Block, Wami Capital and Bison Fund, and extra.
Polygon’s Sandeep Nailwal, Doordash’s Gokul Rajaram, and Aave’s Ajit Tripathi participated as angel buyers.
