Chain Abstraction: How NEAR’s Vision Can Fix Web3’s Fragmented Mess

The DApp Illusion
Let’s be honest: most so-called decentralized apps are UX nightmares. If your “app” requires users to manually bridge assets or wrestle with MetaMask, you’ve built a frontend with extra steps. As a crypto analyst who’s watched retail investors flee from gas fee-induced rage-quits, I’ll say it plainly: this isn’t adoption.
NEAR founder Illia Polosukhin nails the problem in his recent manifesto: modular blockchains (L2s, rollups, DA layers) fragmented Web3 into tribal villages. Developers choose chains based on liquidity pockets, not tech merits. Users drown in wallet spaghetti. The result? A niche playground of 3M daily active addresses—smaller than a mid-tier mobile game.
Alice and Bob’s Magic Trick
Polosukhin paints a seductive alternative: Alice orders a smoothie via an app that secretly executes:
- A Polygon NFT purchase
- An Arbitrum ticket sale
- A cross-chain ETH payment to Bob—who then swaps BTC for USDC mid-subway ride
Zero chain awareness. No wallets. Just one interface abstracting away settlement layers like TCP/IP hides internet packets. NEAR’s secret sauce? Three-layer infrastructure:
- Security Aggregation: ZK proofs enable cross-chain settlements (think: EigenLayer meets zkWASM)
- Account Unification: Single identity controlling all chain addresses (launching March 2024 via FastAuth)
- Experience Layer: Apps like DapDap acting as “browsers” for multichain interactions
Why This Actually Matters
As someone who’s debugged enough RPC endpoints to fill a therapist’s notebook, I’ll admit: chain abstraction isn’t just about convenience. It reshapes incentives:
- Developers stop gambling on chain hype cycles; build once, deploy everywhere
- Users gain self-custody without PhD-level crypto knowledge
- Ecosystems share liquidity instead of siloing it
NEAR’s 34M total users suggest they’re onto something—though skeptics might call it optimistic given Ethereum’s L2 tribalism. But here’s my take: if Visa can process 65K transactions per second across borders without users thinking “VisaNet,” why can’t Web3?

เหมือนเล่นเกมแต่ต้องเขียนโค้ดไปด้วย
พูดจริงนะ Dapp ทุกวันนี้คือ ‘เกมฝึกสมอง’ ที่ให้คุณมานั่งกุมหัวเชือกเมต้ามาส์กกับ gas fee แทนที่จะเล่นเกมจริงๆ! NEAR เขามาแก้痛点แบบที่แม้แต่ยัยอลิซ(ในตัวอย่าง)ยังสั่งสมูทตี้ได้โดยไม่ต้องรู้ว่าเบื้องหลังมันข้ามห่วงโซ่ไป 3 ที่!
ชีวิตดี๊ดีเมื่อไม่ต้องเป็นนักบวช blockchain
FastAuth ของ NEAR นี่เหมือนได้บัตรสมาชิกสยามพารากอนใบเดียว แต่ใช้ได้ทุกห้างในโลก crypto ไม่ต้องพกกระเป๋าเงินสิบใบแบบตอนนี้ (แล้วก็โดนแฮ็กไปครึ่ง)
คิดดูสิ ถ้า Visa ทำได้ ทำไม Web3 จะทำไม่ได้ล่ะ? หรือจริงๆแล้วพวกเราชอบทรมานตัวเองกันอยู่? #ถามตรง ๆ

웹3 지옥에서 탈출하기
DApp 사용하다가 지갑 때문에 머리 빠질 뻔한 분들 손! 🙋♀️ NEAR의 체인 추상화 비전은 진짜 게임 체인저예요. ‘이체 좀 하려고 메타마스크에 30분 매달린 경험’이 있다면… 이제는 그만!
앨리스와 밥의 마법 같은 거래
폴로수킨이 제안한 시나리오: 지하철에서 스무디 주문하면서 NFT 구매 + 티켓 결제 + 크로스체인 결제까지? 이건 마치… 블록체인 버전 ‘해리포터’ 마법 같은데요! 🪄
개발자는 한 번 만들고 모든 체인에 배포, 사용자는 복잡한 기술 몰라도 OK. NEAR의 3층 인프라가 웹3를 진짜 ‘사용자 친화적’으로 바꿔줄 거예요.
여러분도 체인 전쟁 속에서 지치셨나요? 댓글로 의견 공유해주세요! (암호학 박사 학위 없어도 됩니다~ 😉)

웹3 지옥에서 탈출하기
솔직히 말해서, 현재의 DApp들은 사용자 경험이 너무나도 나쁩니다. 메타마스크와 씨름하다가 가스 요금에 화나서 접은 분들 손! 🙋♂️ 이건 진정한 채택이 아니에요.
NEAR의 마법 같은 해결책
폴로수킨이 제안한 체인 추상화는 정말 혁신적이네요. 폴리곤에서 NFT 사고, 아비트럼에서 티켓 구매하는 동안 지하철에서 BTC를 USDC로 스왑한다니… 이제 진짜 ‘블록체인을 모르는’ 시대가 오나요?
개발자와 사용자 모두를 위한 승리
- 개발자: 한 번 만들면 모든 체인에 배포 가능 (노동절약 최고!)
- 사용자: 복잡한 지갑 관리 없이 자기 자산 통제 (암호학 박사 학위 필요 없음)
NEAR의 비전이 실현된다면, 우리는 진정한 웹3 시대를 맞이할 수 있을 거예요. 여러분도 기대되시나요? 💡

Parang traffic sa EDSA ang Web3 ngayon!
Kung nakakapagod na sayo ang paglipat-lipat ng crypto sa iba’t ibang chains, parang commuter ka lang na napunta sa maling bus terminal. Pero may good news - si NEAR parang MRT na magko-connect ng lahat!
Gaya nung example ni Alice at Bob, pwede ka nang bumili ng NFT habang nagbabayad ng kape - walang hassle! Di na kailangan maging IT graduate para gumamit ng crypto.
May problema pa ba? Sabihin mo sa comments!

From Wallet Spaghetti to Smoothie Simplicity
As someone who’s diagnosed PTSD from RPC errors (Recurring Payment Confusion), NEAR’s chain abstraction feels like finding WiFi in a desert.
The DApp Reality Check: If your ‘decentralized’ app requires more steps than IKEA furniture assembly, it’s not adoption - it’s digital masochism.
Polosukhin’s vision? Alice ordering her crypto-smoothie while Bob casually swaps assets mid-subway ride is the Web3 equivalent of discovering fire. Suddenly Visa-level simplicity doesn’t seem so impossible.
Question for the gallery: Which would you rather troubleshoot - MetaMask or a blender?

From Wallet Spaghetti to Smoothie Orders
As someone who’s cried over more RPC errors than failed Tinder dates, I’ll admit: NEAR’s chain abstraction feels like black magic.
Polosukhin’s “Alice buys a smoothie while secretly executing cross-chain ballet” scenario? That’s the Web3 UX we deserve – where users don’t need a PhD in MetaMask-fu just to buy a coffee NFT.
Pro Tip: If your blockchain requires users to manually bridge assets like medieval merchants, you haven’t built an app – you’ve coded a punishment. NEAR’s FastAuth can’t come soon enough!

Крипто-аналитик с юмором:
Ну что, друзья, пока мы тут спорим про газовые сборы и мучаемся с MetaMask, NEAR уже придумал, как сделать Web3 удобным для обычных смертных!
Проблема: Сейчас использование dApps напоминает попытку собрать IKEA без инструкции – куча деталей, ничего не понятно.
Решение NEAR: Один интерфейс для всех цепочек? Дайте две! Их концепция chain abstraction – это как Visa для крипты: быстро, просто и без головной боли.
Особенно радует пример с коктейлем – теперь можно покупать NFT на Polygon и платить ETH на Arbitrum одним кликом… Ммм… Технологии!
