Jay is exploring initiatives to maximize the potential of blockchain for integration with existing systems - first off, he points out the current lack of middleware-like standards that could support organic connections between blockchain infrastructure and applications. He believes that this deficiency leads to fragmented UX and increases the burden of understanding technical terms, and that improving infrastructure standards will facilitate the integration of blockchain with existing systems. Furthermore, Jay anticipates that simplified yet highly composable ‘Integrated Chain’ infrastructures will enable organic interactions between applications, thereby sparking a variety of innovative initiatives.
In the trading phase of crypto adoption, where most crypto assets are concentrated, exchanges need an infrastructure that is both highly reliable and does not compromise the trading experience. A hybrid exchange design approach, like that of Cube.Exchange, can be suitable in this regard.
