Cross-Chain Operability

Definition

Cross-chain operability refers to the capacity of different blockchain networks to exchange information and assets seamlessly. This functionality enables tokens and data to move between disparate blockchain ecosystems, overcoming the inherent isolation of individual chains. Solutions often involve bridges, atomic swaps, or specialized protocols that facilitate secure communication and transaction execution across varied distributed ledgers. Enhancing cross-chain operability is crucial for expanding the utility and interconnectedness of the broader blockchain landscape.
