Interoperability
The ability of different blockchain networks to communicate and work with each other.
Interoperability refers to the ability of different blockchain networks, which otherwise operate independently, to communicate, share data, or transfer assets with one another.
Cross-chain bridges, shared token standards, and other infrastructure are all approaches used to improve interoperability between otherwise separate networks.
Examples
- A cross-chain bridge is one tool used to improve interoperability between two blockchains.
- Greater interoperability can make it easier for assets and data to move across the broader crypto ecosystem.
