Which cross-chain protocols are worth watching?
In a multi-chain world, omnichain protocols are playing a significant role.

In a multi-chain world, omnichain protocols are playing an increasingly important role. They immediately bridge liquidity across the "walled gardens" of L1s. With so few players in the space, they have a strong chance to capture massive market share. Below are my favorite omnichain protocols worth watching.
1. Radiant Capital
Radiant leverages LayerZero technology to enable users to deposit collateral on one chain and borrow on another. Money markets sit at the heart of all DeFi, and an omnichain money market can help bring better liquidity to smaller L1s.
Currently with a TVL of $215 million, I’m most excited about how Radiant will evolve. The protocol still has a long way to go, but the money market will remain central, and one-click access to cross-chain liquidity is a critical capability.
2. Stargate
Stargate is an omnichain composable bridge built on top of LayerZero. Users can swap and bridge their stablecoins in a single transaction. Having used it myself, I can say it’s currently the smoothest protocol experience I’ve encountered.
But more importantly, its composability is key. This means DEXs can build directly on Stargate to execute seamless cross-chain swaps.
SushiSwap has already done this—SushiXSwap is the world’s first cross-chain AMM.
3. OmniX
OmniX is an omnichain NFT protocol and marketplace that provides tools for creating omnichain collections and facilitating cross-chain NFT sales. Built on LayerZero, this is an interesting experiment in the NFT space.
It can be used for gaming NFTs across different L1s (e.g., Crystalvale from DFK). I think the most powerful aspect is that it enables NFT activity across chains by allowing users to purchase NFTs on any chain using liquidity from another—perhaps AVAX-based NFTs could gain more traction this way.
These are my top three protocols to watch—for now, I'm not focusing on tokens, as all of them are currently inflationary, whether RDNT, STG, or OMNI. I believe in the long-term potential of these protocols and am closely watching how they evolve their tokenomics.
A multi-chain future means revenue streams from multiple sources—not just lending and borrowing on ETH, but also markets on $AVAX and $SOL, giving tokens access to diversified income. With the adoption of veLockup models, we may begin to see tokens accumulate value more effectively. Overall, I strongly believe in omnichain protocols and look forward to how they will lead us into a truly multi-chain future.
