Could you elaborate on the concept of Osmosis in the realm of cryptocurrency? I've heard it mentioned in discussions about blockchain interoperability but I'm not entirely clear on its specifics. How does Osmosis function within the crypto ecosystem? What role does it play in bridging different blockchains? And what are some of the key benefits or challenges associated with its implementation? I'm interested in understanding the technical aspects as well as its potential impact on the industry.
