Definition ∞ Multi-chain workflows are operational sequences or processes that span across multiple distinct blockchain networks, leveraging the unique capabilities of each chain. These workflows enable decentralized applications to perform actions or manage assets on different ledgers, often utilizing cross-chain bridges or interoperability protocols. They facilitate more complex and scalable operations than single-chain designs, addressing limitations such as transaction speed or cost on individual networks. Such workflows are central to expanding the utility of decentralized ecosystems.
Context ∞ Multi-chain workflows are increasingly prevalent as the blockchain ecosystem matures, moving beyond single-network limitations. News frequently covers new interoperability solutions, cross-chain bridge developments, and applications that coordinate activities across several chains. The primary challenges involve ensuring security and maintaining data consistency across disparate ledger environments, which are active areas of research and development.
