Chapter 5. Building Interoperable Blockchains

There are various permissioned and public blockchains representing different assets, information, and business processes. One of the major requirements for using these networks is to enable them to talk to each other, which is a major challenge to overcome. It would be great if there were only one blockchain to rule them all, but that's definitely not going to happen, because it's not possible for only one blockchain to win in terms of security, privacy, efficiency, flexibility, platform complexity, developer ease of use, and so on. The future of blockchains will be several public and permissioned blockchains interoperating with each other. In this chapter, we are going to explore how to achieve interoperability between multiple Quorum networks.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding what blockchain interoperability means and the various popular projects related to it
  • Examining the use cases that interoperable blockchains...
