Rebooking can revitalize blockchain assets.

Comment by: Altan Tutar, Co-Founder and CEO of Nuffle Labs.

In the year 2025 is showing promising signs of being the year of the third crypto bull market, which is confirmed by continuously reaching all-time highs and breaking recent records. During this explosive growth, however, we are also witnessing a unique phenomenon of the haves and have-nots.

There are 328 chains listed on Defillama. The 318 outside the top 10 accounted for only 13.18% of the total value locked up. This focus indicates that the ecosystem is increasingly becoming increasingly complex, resulting in billions of undiscovered dry networks and a decentralized set of proofs.

The ecosystem suffers from a creative paradox. As new layer-1 and layer-2 solutions emerge, the market is gradually becoming oversaturated, leading to high entry barriers and lack of capital capacity. Many chains unknowingly fail to keep pace with technological advances, leading to diminishing returns and ecosystem bloat.

What if we could sustainably renew these chains? Enter Reinventing an approach that can reshape how we think about assets and network security.

Re-stacking is the gateway to functionality.

Redundancy allows users to extend the security provided by their assets across multiple networks, effectively multiplying utility and production opportunities. It is equivalent to putting your money to work in different investments at the same time. Just as a savvy investor wouldn't allow their investments to sit in a single low-income account, blockchain assets shouldn't be tied to maintaining one network at a time.

As a natural next step in the evolution of fluid stacking, resuspension is an elegant solution to many problems. For consumers, it provides more valuable product opportunities without additional capital. It provides a new source of mobility and security for networks. For the ecosystem as a whole, it provides a gateway to real interaction. Assets can now have mobility across chains and the ability to contribute to multiple chains, leading to an ecosystem of endless chains.

The Ethereum ecosystem is already leading the charge in the liquid-stop space. The growth trajectory of platforms like EigenLayer shows a growing demand. In addition, Vitalik Buterin's proposal to reduce the level limit from 32 Ether (ETH) to 1 ETH could change the landscape.

On the downside, we could see thousands of new validators enter the ecosystem. This increase in decentralization will strengthen network security and create a solid foundation for a renaissance in the blockchain landscape. Network effects can be exponential as each new participant contributes to multiple chains by recapture.

Overcoming technical obstacles

Although this is an attractive solution, we must acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead. Some infrastructures are multi-layered and can challenge the stability of the architecture, which complicates rather than simplifies the ecosystem in the long run. Critical challenges for the reboot movement include building new networks of trust, the loss of value from multiple payments, and the undermining of security due to fragmented trust.

The current landscape of rehabilitation is fragmented, requiring complex bridge operations that often introduce risk and conflict. For example, in order to contribute assets to EigenLayer, the largest marketplace, you have to connect to Ethereum Layer 1 and move it there again. This step introduces a bridging risk and results in a poor user experience.

Technical hurdles should not be underestimated, but neither should it be considered impossible. Reset should be as easy as a one-click solution, and recent advances in messaging technologies and modularity suggest we're well on our way to making this a reality. Active development of cross-chain messaging protocols and improvements in bridge security are further pushing seamless replication solutions.

Renovation of all properties

The future of blockchain should not be about picking a winner among many chains. Instead, the future of blockchain should be to create an ecosystem where each asset contributes significant value across multiple chains. This change will not happen overnight, but we are seeing a broader movement begin. As more users realize the opportunity costs of traditional stock and platforms develop more user-friendly recovery solutions, we can see a rapid acceleration in adoption.

As the spread continues to improve and barriers to entry fall, especially with Ethereum's proposed reduction in stake limits, the potential for immobility is growing. The ultimate hope is not just more product opportunities; It's about creating a more robust and interconnected ecosystem. Instead of hundreds of isolated chains competing for scarce resources, we can build a web of interconnected chains that share security and liquidity.
