A Survey on Blockchain Interoperability: Past, Present, and Future Trends

Abstract: Blockchain interoperability is emerging as one of the crucial features of blockchain technology, but the knowledge necessary for achieving it is fragmented. This fact makes it challenging for academics and the industry to achieve interoperability among blockchains seamlessly. Given this new domain’s novelty and potential, we conduct a literature review on blockchain interoperability by collecting 284 papers and 120 grey literature documents, constituting a corpus of 404 documents. From those 404 documents, we … Show more

“…Meanwhile, the data generation and update are realized by distributed node consensus algorithm, whereas cryptography is used to ensure the security of data transmission and access. Finally, automatic script code is used for programming and operation (OP) [12][13][14]. Figure 1 depicts the features of BC.…”

“…Blockchain is an emerging technology that secures decentralized, immutable, append-only data storage. On top of such secure storage, a computing framework can be maintained by a network of untrusted participants (or nodes) via smart contracts [9]. Nodes hold a replica of this data structure locally (called the ledger), agreeing on the next global state via a consensus mechanism.…”

“…Blockchain can be a supporting infrastructure of business processes, not only accounting for its decentralized execution, but also for a multitude of other use cases [9]. With this into mind, one can analyze a blockchain with the six Zachaman's dimensions [59,58], as Figure 4 shows.…”
