The Backbone of Multichain? Apex Fusion’s Vision for Seamless Web3 Interoperability

If multichain is the future, Apex Fusion is aiming to become the connective layer that finally makes blockchains work together instead of competing. In this episode of Blockchain Interviews, Ashton Addison sits down with Jerry Fragiskatos, Co-Founder of Apex Fusion and CEO of Hal8, to break down the team’s mission, vision, and the architecture behind their multi-layer ecosystem uniting UTxO and EVM networks. We explore why existing bridges fail, how Skyline Bridge improves security and reliability, and why LayerZero integration unlocks “true interoperability” across 150+ chains rather than basic asset passing.
Jerry also dives into VECTOR—Apex Fusion’s high-speed, instant-finality chain built on Cardano tech—and how it strengthens the broader network. We cover DeFi partnerships, developer adoption, cross-chain positioning, and how the Cardano community is responding to Apex Fusion’s expanding capabilities. Finally, Jerry outlines the 2025–2026 roadmap, what Phase Two looks like, and how Apex plans to compete in a fragmented landscape dominated by Ethereum, Solana, and L2s. Whether you’re building cross-chain, exploring new interoperability solutions, or following the evolution of Cardano infrastructure, this conversation delivers a deep look at what Apex Fusion is building next.
