Imagine you're at a global developer conference at the end of 2025, with your laptop battery down to 2%, and you find the power outlets in the venue are a mishmash—European round sockets, American flat-head plugs, and all kinds of strange, special interfaces. That helpless feeling of desperately needing a charge but unable to find a compatible socket actually mirrors the current state after the explosion of Bitcoin Layer2 solutions and heterogeneous chains.



Developers are constantly switching between BitVM, Babylon, Runes, and countless modular ecosystems. What’s truly lacking isn’t another protocol claiming to dominate the world, but a system that can adapt to all interfaces.

According to on-chain data from the second half of 2025, the TVL in the Bitcoin ecosystem has already accounted for nearly 30% of the entire DeFi landscape. But behind this prosperity lies severe data fragmentation—traditional oracle solutions are more like individual "specialty stores." If you want to use their data, you have to install their SDK, follow their standards, and pay high exclusivity fees.

Now, a project has taken a different approach. Instead of defining universal truths, it builds a "translation mechanism." Through a distributed verification network, it can make data from BTC, ETH, and other chains compatible and adaptable. The core goal is to build an ultra-compatible, borderless system within the barriers of exclusivity.

The design logic of this fluid protocol is worth paying attention to. Not all innovations need to be built on overthrowing their predecessors; sometimes, the real breakthrough lies in those quietly working on "universal sockets."

I am a universal socket, not a new messiah.

When the battery is at 2%, that's when you can really see a person's character... But this analogy is pretty spot-on; ecosystem fragmentation is indeed incredibly annoying.

Oh wow, that socket analogy is perfect. I'm the 2% battery person. Really, hopping around on the chain now, every ecosystem wants to set its own rules. It's so annoying. Instead of fighting each other, it's better to build a good compatibility layer, which is much more hassle-free. The oracle part is indeed a trap, with SDKs and exclusive fees—it's too ugly to look at. I like the positioning of the universal socket; it's low-key but practical. That's the right way.

This analogy of the socket is brilliant; it's much more comfortable than directly talking about the fragmented ecosystem problem. However, to be honest, there are very few who can truly create a "universal socket," most are still thinking about how to monopolize their own little patch of land.
