## Why use Superchain interop to enable cross-chain token interoperability

Apps built with Superchain interop can essentially teleport tokens from one blockchain to another, providing users with a secure, low-latency, and capitally-efficient way to transact on the Superchain.

3rd party interop solutions for L2s often wait for Ethereum finalization (15min+) when transferring tokens from an L2 to mitigate the double spend problem. However, that solution results in high latency and poor user experience. Superchain interop is [reorg aware](./reorg) - this means users can transfer assets across chains in the Superchain with 1-block latency, and should a reorg happen, either both the source and destination transactions would remain, or both of them would revert. In every case, there is no window of opportunity to double spend. Low latency interop that mitigates the double spend problem is now possible with Superchain interop.

If a 3rd party interop solution is providing faster-than-Ethereum L1 finality (15min+) cross-chain composability but not using Superchain interop as its verification mechanism, you should be clear on how the solution is mitigating finality risk and what will happen in the event there is a double spend problem.
