Vitalik Buterin Requests Interoperable Blockchains
This news comes following Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin’s statement about a week ago which requested that developers should invest effort in making it possible to move between bitcoin and ethereum blockchains easily. He added that it should be possible to achieve this in a trustless and serverless manner.
Vitalik Buterin furthered by including that decentralized exchanges (DEX) bridges should exist between ethereum blockchain and other crypto ecosystems, finalizing that he was in talks with other respected blockchain developers on how to materialize such plans.
Now, according to the report, developers at Summa are said to be working in order to make interoperability possible between Ethereum and numerous other blockchains.
