It's hard to dispute this proposition: "We believe the issue of survivability to be as important as that of privacy and security. As such, we believe that interoperability across blockchain systems will be a core requirement." There are numerous reasons why dependence on one single blockchain system might be a bad idea. But if there are multiple blockchains, they need to be able to interoperate. There's a parallel to be drawn here between the creation of a computer network, which connects all computers, and an inter-network, which connects networks of computers. The article concludes with five 'desirable features' of interoperable blockchains: independently verification, binding signatures for gateways, multiple reliable 'paths' between blockchains, a global resolution mechanism for identifiers, and identifiable gateways.
