How can cross-chain issues in Web3 be solved, and where does Skate rank?

So, cross-chain interoperability has always been a problem for users and developers alike. While some projects have made progress in addressing it, there are still issues around efficiency, complexity, and speed, in my opinion. It seems another project called Skate is giving it a shot, haha. Here's a quick rundown:

Skate is a blockchain project by Range Protocol that aims to make using different blockchains easier. Normally, blockchains like Ethereum or Avalanche don’t work together smoothly, so apps and users face issues like switching networks or moving assets. Skate addresses this by creating a unified layer where apps can work across all blockchains without needing bridges or extra steps. This means you can use an app on your favorite blockchain, like Solana, and still connect seamlessly with others like Ethereum.

 For users, Skate simplifies everything—you don’t need to juggle multiple wallets or networks. Its SkatePark hub lets you explore apps, link wallets, and earn rewards called Ollie for participating. For developers, Skate removes the headache of handling cross-chain complexities, allowing one app to work everywhere. It also includes a feature called Skate AMM, which lets users pool funds on any blockchain and earn fees from trades across all chains, helping to maintain liquidity. Built as an Ethereum Layer 2 using EigenLayer for security, Skate aims to make Web3 more user-friendly and connected—like one big, seamless network.

In theory, it sounds promising, but long-term integration could be a challenge. Anyway, it's the weekend and I just wanted to drop this. Let’s talk about different ways cross-chain issues in Web3 could be solved.

I've been hearing that several years ago, a cross chain and integration for most chain is like a dream come true but until when we're actually going to see that? I don't even think that we're going to see this happen anytime soon. Since most of these layers and chains have their own pride as well. It's either the other projects that would like to cross chain should be the ones adjusting for them and not them. So, you get to see the whole picture of it and only few projects are willing to collaborate with others for the ease of the users and their communities.

Yeah on paper it's everywhere, but in reality seems it's only in the metaverse.. skate tends to do that, but tbh I haven't explored the ecosystem yet so I'll have to do that and give feedback here. Rn I'm looking at the chart though plus multiple events on the token like candybomb..this could boost the exposure imo..

It sounds like xion, or particle wallet where they abstract away the complexity of switching network by providing unified wallet interface.

The problem is, nobody want to use this kind of wallet, it's added complexity to learn about the wallet and I don't know if skate is truly decentralized but the same solution that have come up so far always gives me vibe of centralized interface where they manage the private key.
Basically centralized custody with minimal advantage.

People undeniably will still use traditional way of interacting with web3 using metamask and just use interoperability protocol. I prefer something like t3rn where they just give a platform to deploy contract once to be used for many blockchains.
