Transwarp Conduit: Interoperable Blockchain Application Framework
This addresses interoperability issues for blockchain developers, but appears incremental as it builds on existing smart contract and blockchain protocols.
The paper tackles the problem of enabling message transfers between smart-contract enabled blockchains by introducing the Transwarp-Conduit protocol and an application framework, allowing developers to create cross-blockchain applications by deploying compliant smart contracts and hosting a TWC node.
Transwarp-Conduit (TWC) is a protocol for message transfers between two smart-contract enabled blockchains. Furthermore, we specify an application framework (leveraging the TWC protocol) that enables developers to define arbitrarily complex cross-blockchain applications, simply by deploying framework-compliant smart contracts and hosting a TWC node (daemon process).The TWC protocol is implementable without additional effort on part of the base blockchain protocol.
