When you're confined to a single blockchain, what you think is ownership starts feeling like a cage. Sure, your assets are there—but can you actually use them? Everything depends on that one chain's liquidity pool, available tools, and the rules someone else decided.

The real bottleneck isn't your assets existing. It's what you can do with them. Want to access better opportunities elsewhere? Tough luck if they're on another network. That's the problem when ecosystems stay siloed.

Cross-chain bridges flip the script entirely. Imagine moving your value freely between different blockchains without friction. Your assets stop being trapped in one corner and become genuinely liquid across the entire Web3 landscape. Liquidity follows you, tools open up, you're no longer bound by one ecosystem's limitations.

That's how you turn ownership from a constraint into actual freedom.
