Infrastructure Gaps

Definition ∞ Infrastructure gaps refer to deficiencies or missing components within the foundational systems required for a particular function or industry. These gaps can impede development, adoption, or the efficient operation of services. Addressing these deficiencies is often a prerequisite for scaling or improving existing systems.
Context ∞ In the cryptocurrency and blockchain domain, infrastructure gaps frequently emerge in areas such as secure key management, interoperability solutions between different blockchains, or the availability of robust regulatory compliance tools. News reports may highlight these gaps as barriers to wider adoption or as opportunities for new projects to emerge and provide essential services. Identifying and bridging these gaps is a persistent challenge and a focus of innovation.
