Implications of Interoperability
summary
Argues that connecting specialized chains yields real gains: a relay chain unites message queues and consensus so attacking one chain must cost as much as attacking all, enabling hierarchical sharding and predictable ordered delivery with guaranteed arrival. Implements this with Parity Substrate libraries to avoid duplicate consensus and networking work. Shows concrete patterns: cross-chain smart-contract calls, a DEX using an attempt transfer escrow flow, storage and IoT chains proving messages via Merkle proofs — all feasible without global synchronous calls.
