Early infrastructure providers literally copy-pasted their stacks to new chains:
- You'd see "ethereum.dapp.example" and "polygon.dapp.example" - endpoints
- No shared cloud infrastructure between chains
- Adding each new chain required massive infrastructure overhead
In a multi-chain world, app frontends and backends are getting redesigned to accommodate this and have one service that supports many chains. . Low usage on one chain saves resources for high usage on another. Copy-paste era is over.
