Findings

Achieves linear scalability for blockchain networks

Ensures consistency among honest blockchain systems

Provides secure interoperability across multiple blockchains

Abstract

This study proposes a novel solution that provides secure interoperability for blockchains, which improves the overall scalability of the whole blockchain network. In our solution, a cross-chain task will build a one-time cross-blockchain contract. Each blockchain system can follow the contract to complete or this task. The result of tasks is bound with the system, hence can be anchored to all other blockchain systems through the gossip network. This work shows our result can provide linear scalability for the whole system and achieve consistency among honest systems.
