But what is actually chain abstraction?

Chain abstraction refers to the process of creating a unified interface or layer that allows developers to interact with multiple blockchain networks without needing to handle the unique details and complexities of each one. By abstracting the differences between blockchains, developers can write their code once and deploy it across different chains seamlessly. This abstraction layer handles the nuances of each blockchain, such as consensus mechanisms, transaction formats, and communication protocols, providing a consistent experience for developers and users.
