s cross-chain liquidity becoming essential for DEX development?

Is cross-chain liquidity becoming essential for DEX development?

One limitation I notice with many decentralized exchanges is fragmented liquidity across different blockchain networks.

If users hold assets on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, or other networks, they may need bridges or separate platforms before they can trade.

For a new DEX, does supporting cross-chain trading and liquidity provide a meaningful advantage, or does the additional infrastructure introduce too much complexity?

I’d be interested in hearing how developers approach cross-chain DEX architecture and liquidity aggregation.
