Background and Problem Statement

This section outlines the core motivations behind the creation of Heima

This section outlines the core motivations behind the creation of Heima. It explores the challenges faced by both users and developers operating within today’s fragmented multichain environment, where cross-chain interactions, pricing inconsistencies, and the lack of automation create significant friction.

You’ll also learn how Heima addresses these issues through a modular, intent-driven architecture and how it compares to existing chain abstraction approaches, highlighting where they fall short and why a more comprehensive solution is needed.

Summarily, this section will:

• Outline the key problems users and developers face in the current multichain ecosystem.

• Introduce Heima’s approach to solving them through a four-part architecture: Heima Network, Account Abstraction, Chain Abstraction, and a programmable Agent Hub.

• Compare existing chain abstraction models and highlight their limitations in scalability, security, and UX.

By understanding the depth of these issues and the limitations of current solutions, the need for a system like Heima becomes clear: a modular, programmable coordination protocol that enables truly seamless, cross-chain interactions for the next generation of decentralized applications.
