We are in a digital transformation<\/strong>. For example, our invoices are now almost always electronically stored<\/strong> instead of having huge piles of paper in the office. With the Coronavirus outbreak, this transformation has been accelerated, for sure. But, what is a good way to store all the data <\/strong>in an immutable manner? You might guess, the<\/strong> blockchain or the distributed ledger<\/strong>. And to level up: Interoperable blockchain systems!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you might know, blockchain is a particular kind of database<\/strong> that differs from a typical one in the way it stores information;<\/strong> blockchains store data in blocks<\/strong> that are chained<\/strong> together. That might seem complicated, but actually, the core concept is really simple.<\/p>\n

The complicated part comes when we want two blockchains to work together<\/em><\/strong>. Because when a block is filled, it is set in stone and becomes a part of the chain. Each block in the chain is given an exact timestamp<\/strong>. This means that the data is stored chronologically<\/strong> and in an irreversible<\/strong> way. So, if a blockchain is merged<\/strong> with another, it is really difficult to sort out and prove which operation had been done before. This is why we need blockchains to be able to communicate with each other<\/strong> in a frictionless way, which we call interoperable blockchains,<\/strong> to carry our game to the next level.<\/p>\n

Where Might We Need Interoperable Blockchain Systems?<\/h4>\n

Especially in some areas, interoperability might really step up the game! Here we list some of those:<\/p>\n
