This describes a state where a network, particularly a blockchain, is divided into multiple disconnected or poorly interconnected segments. This can result from technical incompatibilities, competing standards, or a proliferation of independent sub-networks. Such divisions can impede interoperability and the seamless flow of information or assets.
Context
Network fragmentation is a growing concern in the blockchain industry as numerous distinct networks and Layer 2 solutions emerge. Discussions often focus on the challenges of interoperability between these fragmented ecosystems and the potential for user experience degradation. Addressing this fragmentation is seen as critical for the broader adoption and utility of blockchain technology.
