Could Someone Give me Advice on Nervos CKB’s Potential for Cross-Chain Interoperability?

English CKB Development & Technical Discussion

Hello there, :wave:

I have been diving into Nervos CKB and its ecosystem; and I am really impressed with the flexibility and scalability it offers. Although; as I look deeper; I find myself wondering about its potential for cross chain interoperability.

With the growing importance of blockchain interoperability in the crypto space; it seems like Nervos could be well positioned to support communication between different blockchains.

From what I understand; the Nervos Common Knowledge Base (CKB) acts as a layer 1 blockchain that can store a wide range of assets and data. But I am curious about the specific mechanisms that could enable CKB to facilitate secure and seamless cross chain interactions.

What existing solutions or tools within the Nervos ecosystem allow for this; and how does Nervos plan to scale these solutions for widespread use?

Additionally; I have seen some discussions about Nervos bridging capabilities and Layer 2 solutions; such as Godwoken and Polyjuice. How do these integrate with CKB for inter chain communication; and what challenges does Nervos face in ensuring compatibility with other blockchain networks? :thinking:

Also, I have gone through this post; https://talk.nervos.org/t/open-grant-program-categories-and-scope-of-work-for-applications-machine-learning which definitely helped me out a lot.

I would really appreciate any insights or resources that dive deeper into the future of cross-chain interoperability with Nervos. Any thoughts from the community on how this could evolve in the next 1-2 years would be valuable as well.

Thanks for your time and assistance. :innocent:

hello Robert- recently the focus has been on trustless interoperability solutions like RGB++ on Bitcoin. The system will be extended to Dogecoin soon. What is RGB++ | RGBCat 🌈🐈

I hope there will be more novel designs as zk makes it’s way through the industry, CKB is very well positioned here.

CKB has introduced the Fiber Network, a next-generation public lightning network designed to facilitate fast, low-cost, and decentralized multi-asset payments and peer-to-peer transactions. Built on Nervos CKB and off-chain channels, Fiber Network aims to provide efficient payment solutions for RGB++ assets. The prototype development has been completed, enabling the creation, updating, and closing of channels between two nodes. Additionally, cross-chain functionality with the Bitcoin Lightning Network has been verified. The network is set to go live next week for testing.

CKB stated that similar to the Bitcoin Lightning Network, Fiber Network operates as a layer-two payment channel solution, conducting transactions off-chain to enhance speed and reduce costs while maintaining blockchain security and decentralization. Fiber Network supports various assets, including CKB native tokens and any RGB++ assets. The overall architecture of Fiber Network comprises off-chain payment channels, on-chain contracts, multi-hop routing, and monitoring services.
