Quotes that support claims

The first phase being intent-based interop using the universal intents engine. Initially available to a limited set of @arbitrum chains, expandable to other EVM chains for them to deploy

users can expect to see easy crosschain swaps between L2s, new chain-specific addresses that are human-readable, trustless crosschain messaging and the launch of innovative “unified liquidity” bridges like Polygon’s Agglayer

The goal? Seamlessly connect @arbitrum chains and other Ethereum L2s with < 3s crosschain swaps and transfers to achieve flawless UX

Ethereum is finally on the verge of solving the interoperability problems that have plagued the ecosystem since the layer 2 roadmap started to take off a couple of years ago
