This essay builds on Ben Thompson’s “aggregation theory” as it relates to crypto. In part one, the essay dives into the fundamentals of aggregation theory and demonstrates its relevance to the crypto space, diving into how the theory needs to be modified to reflect the nuances of crypto, which leads us to define the crypto aggregation theory. Part two focuses on the “bridge” industry, providing a deeper perspective of how bridge aggregators can harness flywheels of network effects to drive their success and secure a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape. This is a fantastic piece for anyone looking to learn more about bridges and how the ecosystem will develop over time.
