Chain Interoperability

Framework for evaluating and implementing cross-chain interoperability solutions.

Protocol Standards

Messaging Protocols

const MessagingStandards = {
  format: "Message structure",
  validation: "Proof verification",
  routing: "Network topology",
  recovery: "Failure handling"
}

Implementation Approaches

  • Trusted bridges
  • Trustless bridges
  • Hybrid solutions
  • Specialized bridges

Security Model

Security Requirements

  1. Message integrity
  2. Asset safety
  3. Economic security
  4. Censorship resistance

Trust Assumptions

const TrustModel = {
  validators: "Consensus participants",
  relayers: "Message carriers",
  watchers: "Security monitors",
  users: "End participants"
}
