vitalik.eth is the address 0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045. The same address/private key will work on any EVM chain, but vitalik.eth only works Ethereum L1. If he wanted to use that same address on Polygon, he'd need to buy a Polygon specific id. If he wanted to use it on Avalanche he'd need a Avalanche ID.
Is there work being done on creating a single, multichain (or at least EVM-compatible chain) id system that addresses the reality that one address can be on multiple chains?

So this actually exists within our compatible wallets.
When you have register an onchain domain with us, there are hundreds of supported tokens that can resolve to that address.
Using your example, vitalik.eth resolves to 0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045. If Vitalik logged into Unstoppable Domains & navigated to the "my domains" then "crypto" tab, he'd see a short list of supported tokens with a button to select more.
For example, Vitalik can set a bitcoin address to receive bitcoin payments. So, if I were using the Unstoppable Wallet, I could send Bitcoin to vitalik.eth and it would resolve (aka be sent) to the address Vitalik set, even though vitalik.eth is an NFT on Ethereum.
This would work for any supported token & chain, once the resolution address for those chains is set.
