Interesting perspective on how venture capital structures development in the blockchain space. Here's the core tension: traditional blockchain networks operate as fragmented systems—relying on bridges to connect ecosystems, oracles to import external data, and multiple middleware layers just to function smoothly. Each dependency introduces its own complexity and potential failure points.



Internet Computer Protocol takes a fundamentally different architectural approach. It's built as a complete infrastructure stack from the ground up—a decentralized cloud platform where computation, storage, and networking are native to the protocol itself. No external bridges needed. No oracle dependency. The entire application layer runs directly on the blockchain.

This architectural difference has profound implications. Traditional multi-chain solutions trade simplicity for connectivity; they gain access to different ecosystems but sacrifice operational elegance. The Internet Computer model prioritizes self-contained, fully decentralized application development—you're building on a comprehensive platform rather than stitching together disparate components.

Both approaches have merit depending on use cases, but it illustrates why blockchain infrastructure design matters as much as tokenomics or community.

In plain terms, the ICP architecture indeed reduces too many middle steps, but the real question is whether there is an ecosystem that can be used... Although the bridging solution is ugly, at least it can run now.

The ICP approach sounds pretty good, but how many projects can actually be implemented and run successfully? I feel like the bridging ecosystem approach is more practical. Multi-chain is indeed chaotic, but at least it has been validated.

Sounds good, but isn't it just another story inflated by VCs? ICP also promoted itself this way back then. And now? No matter how perfect the architecture is, without an ecosystem, it's all pointless. History has shown us this.

ICP's architectural concept is indeed clean, but can it really eliminate the fragmentation of bridges... It still seems like everyone has their own pitfalls.

The IC architecture concept is indeed comfortable, no need to patch everywhere.
