Multi-Chain Transaction

Definition

A multi-chain transaction involves operations that span across two or more distinct blockchain networks. This type of transaction enables the movement of assets or execution of smart contract logic between different distributed ledgers, overcoming the inherent isolation of individual blockchains. It typically relies on interoperability protocols, cross-chain bridges, or atomic swap mechanisms to ensure secure and verifiable transfers. Multi-chain transactions are crucial for building a more interconnected and scalable digital asset ecosystem.
