⛓️Interoperability

What is interoperability?

In the context of blockchain technology, interoperability refers to the exchange of data between blockchain networks. Such data exchange may either include the replication of data from one blockchain to another, or the execution of functions conditional to information that was revealed on another blockchain. For example, transferring tokens between blockchain networks requires a locking operation on the source blockchain before minting respective representations on the target blockchain. Such proofs typically involve the replication of data to verify the locking event. On the other hand, exchanging tokens stored on distinct blockchains between two parties, so-called atomic swaps, includes revealing information to the counterpart who utilizes the learned fact to retrieve the exchanged asset.
