As DeFi continues to expand and scale, **fragmentation of the industry and its market is worsening**.
Projects continue to launch on layer 2 (L2) or layer 1 (L1) networks instead of or in addition to the original Ethereum mainnet.
DeFi has thus expanded and is therefore characterized by several ecosystems beyond Ethereum, each with its own unique benefits, that often exist in silos.

A lack of interoperability solutions exists between these ecosystems creating barriers to value transfer across layers and chains.

While it has become easier to move assets between ecosystems, it has wrongfully been accomplished via

## The Composable Solution

Composable Finance’s full technical stack
Composable's full technical stack
has been designed to usher in an era of cross-ecosystem interoperability
without abandoning the trustless, decentralized, permissionless, and non-custodial aspects of web3.
Subsequently, this allows for the unification of functionality across all connected blockchain ecosystems.

Specifically, we are building infrastructure that allows developers to deploy applications natively capable of
cross-chain functions. This infrastructure also allows users to access previously disparate ecosystems simultaneously,
autonomously interoperating across layers and chains, all through the same fabric and entry point: the Composable ecosystem.

Our interoperable infrastructure forms the foundation for DeFi's mass adoption.
Additionally it enables modular functionality for any application. The basis of modular functionality is that a program,
or in this case a decentralized application, can be separated into interchangeable modules capable of functioning independently.

— that serves to orchestrate and compute smart contract functions across the array of EVM, Polkadot and IBC-enabled Cosmos ecosystems autonomously,
with the purpose of optimizing for best execution and mitigating all user experience constraints for developers and end-users.

Composable Labs is devoted to pushing new protocols that harness the composable tech stack, while Composable Research is
on a quest to solidify new interoperability and development standards across Web3 and DeFi.
One of our key objectives overall is to develop and deploy a novel set of financial primitives and for developers to
utilize the suite of new tools and technologies we are building. All our efforts are serving to highlight
the technical and UX benefits Composable offers to applications built atop our ecosystem.
