Push Chain Unveils Public Devnet: Bridging Web3's Fragmented Ecosystems

The Push Chain, an L1 blockchain designed for universal applications, has announced the launch of its Public Devnet and developer SDK. This significant milestone marks a step towards shifting web3 from its current fragmented state to a land of seamless composability, enabling developers to create universal apps compatible with all chains.

The Push Chain pioneers in shared state blockchain technology, allowing any user to interact with apps on any chain (chain abstraction). It aims to solve the problem of fragmentation of several L1s, L2s, and L3s, becoming the leading universal hub for scalable, cross-chain, wallet-abstracted (normie user-friendly) web3 applications.

The current state of web3 is heavily siloed, with multiple L1s, L2s, and L3s operating their own distinct ecosystems. This creates barriers to realizing a frictionless web3. Push's goal is to build infrastructure that enables 'universal applications' which can leverage the power and promise of web3 as a whole.

App builders now have access to a sandbox environment with a quickstarter snippet and complete technical documentation to test these features. The environment contains powerful examples, such as Rumors, DCA (dollar cost averaging), and Email, showcasing the unique capabilities of the chain, with more in the works.

Moreover, builders can explore how to integrate Push's native point-system within their apps to gamify and/or reward certain behaviors. The launch offers a ready-to-hand toolbox for understanding and building on Push Chain, including the software development kit (SDK) and a user interface (UI) kit.

Push Chain's architecture has been thoughtfully designed with consumer applications in mind. Some of its key features include chain-agnostic identities and transactions, social logins, ecosystem abstraction, consumer and financial transactions, true scale, shared state, and universal smart contracts.

With Push Chain's software development kit, developers can interact with the network and leverage its features with ease. They will not only deploy cross-chain functionalities but develop novel use-cases such as combining an NFT marketplace on Solana with a prediction market on Polygon. This 'universality' will also allow AI agents to hop across ecosystems with ease, becoming the backbone for universal AI agents.

A simple example of a universal app could be a chess interface in which the players turn their games into universal NFTs, accessible across all marketplaces. The
