Blockchain Interoperability Challenges Blockchain interoperability means making apps and assets move smoothly between different blockchains. This includes cross-chain token transfers, data sharing, and running a contract on one chain while reacting to events on another. The promise is clear: more liquidity, more choice for users, and better composability. The reality is more complex. Blockchains use different consensus models, data formats, and fee schedules, creating gaps where messages can be delayed, misread, or lost. ...

Blockchain Interoperability and Standards Blockchain interoperability means that different networks can exchange value and share data without friction. Standards are the agreed rules that make this possible. With a common language and clear checks, developers can build apps that run on multiple chains, and users get a smoother, more reliable experience. To achieve interoperability, teams rely on several approaches: Cross-chain messaging protocols that carry data between ecosystems Bridges that move tokens and prove ownership across networks Adapters and middleware that translate data formats for a target chain On the standards side, formal bodies and industry groups create guidelines. ISO/TC 307 covers blockchain governance and risk topics. The W3C develops verifiable credentials and related data models to support identity and data sharing. Common formats like JSON and CBOR keep messages predictable, while well-defined event schemas and API contracts reduce surprises when a chain updates. ...
