Omnichain platforms are solutions that aim to improve interoperability and connectivity between different blockchain networks. They seek to overcome the obstacles presented by decentralized applications being limited by the compatibility of the blockchains they use. It is a solution for fragmentation, bottlenecks, and the slowness with which Ethereum and Bitcoin protocols advance and their compatibility with different smart contracts.
The idea is that applications can choose different characteristics of different blockchains, maximizing their benefits.
The best omnichain platforms to use are:
a. Cosmos Network: It is one of the most prominent platforms, which has gained a large number of users and developers in recent years. It offers a simple and elegant solution for interoperability using its inter-blockchain communication protocol. Also, it offers support for DeFi applications and even non-DeFi, such as Althea and Persistence.
b. Polkadot: It is a platform that allows interoperability of different blockchain networks but through a more complex and highly customizable mechanism. It offers more customization options, making it more suitable for specific and complex applications.
