Why Isn't Crosschain Interop Solved Yet? | Across, Arbitrum, EF, and Espresso at Convergence 2025

Why Are We Still Talking About Crosschain Interoperability in 2025? We've been discussing interoperability and seamless UX since the inception of Ethereum—and even before. Yet in 2025, we still face fragmented liquidity, sub-optimal user experiences, and all the challenges that come with them. This panel from Convergence 2025 confronts the uncomfortable question: why hasn't crosschain been solved yet? With new standards like the Open Intents Framework and ERC-7786, we examine if things are actually different this time—and whether interop is even the right problem to solve.
