We are finally moving past digital pictures (like JPEGs and NFTs). The new, huge trend is taking real things—like that $10,000 guitar amp, expensive art, or big buildings—and giving them a safe, digital title on the blockchain. Moving from digital art to real stuff with real value is the way everyone will start using this technology.
But there is a major problem: interoperability. You can't have asset tokens worth millions trapped on separate blockchain systems, like separate islands. If the token is stuck, nobody can easily trade it, and the market dies. We must build special tools that can act like a universal translator, tracking and checking these valuable assets across all the different networks easily. That critical job is the exact gap platforms like Lumos Core are filling (https://lumoscore.com/). Connecting those "islands" isn't a bonus feature; it's the key to the entire future of this market.
