Undoubtedly, one of the prerequisites for the mass adoption of blockchain technology is secure and seamless cross-chain interoperability. Many potential applications, particularly in complex and regulated sectors, simply can not be deployed without common guidelines and interface definitions.
Without these, as is currently the case, applications that aim to go cross-chain must rely on custom off-chain components and automatically inherit the accompanying risks and trust assumptions. The only alternative is to remain constrained to a single, isolated network.
Today’s interoperability solutions – or “bridges” – have matured to the point where just about any two blockchain networks can be connected. The problem is that each bridge is an ad hoc construction, which limits scalability and usability.
This issue is amplified when dealing with networks that have drastically different infrastructures, as is the case with non-EVM blockchains. Limitations aside, bridges are clearly ne
