Notification

BTC and ETH are once again oscillating around the weekly MA5. My view is the same as yesterday: the weekly MA5 shouldn't be able to suppress them, and they still need to test 100,000.

Another piece of good news is that the price of USDT has rebounded a bit.

VOOI's Chain Abstraction: A Cognitive Therapy for "Multichain Memory Overload"

Everyone says chain abstraction simplifies operations, but no one mentions that it actually does brain offloading surgery for DeFi users—specifically treating memory overload caused by "cross-chain PTSD."

Root of the problem: The brain becomes a human cross-chain bridge

Traditional multichain operations force users to turn their brains into blockchain routers: keeping track of Arbitrum's gas fees, Solana's block times, Polygon's bridge delays... Memory bandwidth is filled up by chain differences, leaving no CPU for thinking about real trading strategies.

@vooi_io’s prescription: Selective amnesia

Chain abstraction does something counterintuitive: it actively helps users forget.

It packages knowledge like “which bridge to use” and “how to swap gas tokens” into a black box;
Users only need to remember “what do I want to trade,” just like calling a ride on your phone without knowing how the engine works;
The brain is finally downgraded from blockchain operations engineer to trading strategy director.

Side effect: Identity crisis for DeFi pros

But this “cognitive offloading” brings new anxieties:

Previously you could brag “I’m an expert at gas optimization across 8 chains,” now your skillset is just “can click buy and sell”;
Chain abstraction shatters technical knowledge hegemony, shifting trading power back to strategy itself—being able to read the charts is now more important than being able to bridge across chains.

Harsh truth

Chain abstraction is like installing a collective external hard drive for the DeFi world:

Complex operations are outsourced to protocols, freeing up users’ brainpower for alpha hunting;
But the downside is that on-chain survival skills atrophy—if the service goes down one day, you might not even know how to bridge anymore.

So when using VOOI, you might as well joke:
“Am I truly a free knight on-chain,
or just an assembly line worker in VOOI’s cognitive factory?”

Of course, all progress comes with contradictions, and VOOI can certainly solve these in the future.
