The Liquidity Fragmentation Problem
Blockchains were not designed to communicate which each other so liquidity is split across the chains.
Multiple ecosystems

The Interchain Communication Workaround
By a combination of different off-chain Agents is possible to route messages from contracts in a blockchain to contracts in another blockchain.
An off-chain routing ecosystem
Different agents collaborate in enabling interchain communication:
In order to select the right combination of interoperability agents for our Fungible Token, we must balance features and service level delivered by the different providers.
Coverage
Different relayers work for different networks so selecting the right relayer is a decision criteria for the issuer.
Trust Models
Every relayer features different Trust Model, so is up to the issuer to choose the relayers more suitable for his token.
Liveness
Relayers are pffchina services and therefore run on Web2 servers. It is necessary to guarantee a service level.
Costs
Gas fees charged for every relayer must be considered when making a decision.
Interoperability Patterns
This project identifies interoperability patterns and proposes standardized approaches and delivers implementation backed on the existing relayers.
