The objective of blockchain interoperability is therefore to support such cooperation among blockchain systems, despite those kinds of differences.
Polkadot is founded on the premise that there will be a multitude of blockchains in the future. It provides an open-source software development kit called Polkadot SDK that can be used by development teams to build their own blockchains. These blockchains can function independently, known as "solochains," or integrate into the Polkadot network ...
Avalanche is a decentralized, open-source Layer-1 blockchain.It was developed by Ava Labs and launched in 2020. Avalanche is known for its unique consensus mechanism, called Avalanche Consensus, which combines classical and Nakamoto consensus methods to achieve high throughput and low latency while maintaining decentralization.
Decentralized finance applications can be accessed through a Web3-enabled browser extension or application, which allows users to directly interact with the ICON blockchain through a website.
