Interoperability Alliance

Aion, ICON, Wanchain Interoperability AllianceWorking together towards a common standard.The ability for independent blockchain protocols to communicate in a decentralized and scalable way has been identified as a key obstacle and opportunity for mainstream adoption of both public and private blockchain networks.As we go forward building our protocols, testing designs and hypotheses it is essential that we collaborate together to ensure that the solutions we are building are being developed with interoperability between each other protocols in mind. To facilitate this collaboration, Aion, ICON and Wanchain have come together to launch the Blockchain Interoperability Alliance. This alliance will focus on developing a common set of standards for blockchain interoperability to ensure our shared vision of a global ecosystem of connected blockchains is achieved.The Alliance’s first priority is to share and collaborate on research and design for cross-chain transactions and communication.“We believe that collaborating across projects will help set best practices for blockchain interoperability and encourage broader market adoption across enterprises and the public” Matthew Spoke, Founder, Aion.“ICON project was first started by the request of our enterprise blockchain clients to interconnect with other blockchain networks. The goal of this alliance is to create a globally accepted standard for connecting blockchains and to bring innovations together” JH Kim, Foundation Council, ICON“The Blockchain Interoperability Alliance will play a crucial role in increasing the connectivity of our digital assets and our lives.” — Dustin Byington, President, WanchainThe Blockchain Interoperability Alliance was announced at Consensus: Invest in New York City.
