Cross-Chain Altcoins to Watch – Who’s Building the Bridges of Web3?

[Manon]

With L2s, alt-L1s, and app chains popping up everywhere, interoperability is the name of the game.

So, which altcoins are winning in the cross-chain race?

Think:

• Protocols enabling asset transfers (like Wormhole, Axelar)
• Messaging layers (LayerZero?)
• Smart contract platforms working across chains

Who’s doing it best—and who’s all talk?
Would love some insight from builders and researchers too.
