Re: support for atomic commit of transactions across channels #fabric
Brian Behlendorf <bbehlendorf@...>
Thanks for bringing this here for
feedback.
One thing I noticed reading more
closely is that this isn't just about transactions across channels
in the same Fabric network, but even across different Fabric
networks. That's very cool!
Another part of Hyperledger, Hyperledger
Quilt, has been working along the same lines, as an
implementation of the Interledger Protocol written
in Java. It was originally written by Ripple and NTT Data and is
now supported by Coil, and ILP is somewhat designed for a payments
use case, so it right now just supports XRP and BTC; but we're working
hard now to reboot the project and bring new contributors
and thinking in. If ILP can be made more general purpose than
just payments of cryptocurrencies and apply to transactions of all
sorts, perhaps it could also be looked at as the bridge between
two Fabric networks? I know that's a bigger lift but then we'd
get interop with other ledger networks potentially more easily.
If not, it'd be great to understand what ILP doesn't yet provide
to make this possible.
