Blockchain technology has been increasingly adopted over the past few years since the introduction of Bitcoin, with several blockchain architectures and solutions being proposed. Most proposed solutions have been developed in isolation, without a standard protocol or cryptographic structure to work with. This has led to the problem of interoperability, where solutions running on different blockchain platforms are unable to communicate, limiting the scope of use. With blockchains being adopted in a variety of fields such as the Internet of Things, it is expected that the problem of interoperability if not addressed quickly, will stifle technology advancement. This paper presents the current state of interoperability solutions proposed for heterogenous blockchain systems. A look is taken at interoperability solutions, not only for cryptocurrencies, but also for general data‐based use cases. Current open issues in heterogenous blockchain interoperability are presented. Additionally, some possible research directions are presented to enhance and to extend the existing blockchain interoperability solutions. It was discovered that though there are a number of proposed solutions in literature, few have seen real‐world implementation. The lack of blockchain‐specific standards has slowed the progress of interoperability. It was also realized that most of the proposed solutions are developed targeting cryptocurrency‐based applications.

“…However, in different application scenarios, there are different requirements for blockchain access control, throughput, network size etc. This has given rise to various blockchain systems, which has led to the island of value effect of blockchain [11,12]. How to interact with data and transfer value between different blockchain systems has become the focus of research in academia and industry.…”

Along with the continuous breakthroughs and innovations in blockchain technology, various blockchain application scenarios are emerging, such as healthcare, e‐voting, and Internet of Things. However, in general, these applications need to be supported by blockchain systems with different characteristics. Different blockchain systems have significant differences in architecture, security, efficiency, and so on, which makes the exchange of information between applications have certain barriers. Therefore, the research of blockchain cross‐chain technology brings hope for breaking the information barriers between blockchain systems. This paper describes the basic principles and latest research of three mainstream cross‐chain technologies; then analyzes three innovative cross‐chain solutions of cross‐chain routing, smart contracts, and multi‐chain consensus; furthermore, discusses the application and security risks of cross‐chain technologies, and finally summarizes and outlooks on cross‐chain technologies.
