Some may think this is old news, because the partnership with SIA is known, but: Testing was successful, next step seems guaranteed:
SIA achieves blockchain interoperability goal with Quant Network
Banking users of SIA's private blockchain infrastructure will be able to link up with other distributed ledgers following successful testing of interoperability via Quant Network's Overledger technology.
This integration provides the ability to bridge permissioned blockchain instances between SIAchain's 580 European network nodes and other external networks - which could not be previously connected - in order to have crossplatform applications and services covering the likes of notarisation, payments and KYC.
Initiated in mid-2019, the collaboration has involved a full program of testing across SIAchain, R3 Corda and private Ethereum platforms.
Daniele Savarè, innovation & business solutions director SIA, says:
“The achievement of a fully interoperable blockchain network, through our collaboration with Quant Network, is another key-element in our path of bringing innovation and state-of-the-art technologies for supporting banks, financial institutions, corporates and public administration bodies to extend their capabilities in integrating different DLT business applications." https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/36087/sia-achieves-blockchain-interoperability-goal-with-quant-networks__________________Edit - Press Release from SIA:
Quant Network and SIA successfully tested blockchain interoperability
The breakthrough was achieved by integrating Quant Network’s Overledger technology into the SIAchain private blockchain infrastructure to enable cross-platform applications and services in Europe and globallyLondon and Milan, 24 June 2020 – Quant Network, a leading pioneer in enterprise blockchain technology, and SIA, European hi-tech company leader in the fields of payment services and infrastructures and a subsidiary of CDP Equity, have successfully tested cross blockchain interoperability between multiple Distributed Ledger Technology protocols.
The breakthrough was achieved by integrating Quant Network’s Overledger technology (the world’s only DLT operating system that allows interoperability) into the SIAchain private blockchain infrastructure leveraging on 580 European network nodes within SIAnet (the fiber optic network with high-speed and low-latency stretching over 208,000 kilometres).
This integration provides the ability to bridge permissioned blockchain instances between SIAchain and other external networks – which could not be previously connected - in order to have cross-platform applications and services covering for example notarisation, payments and KYC.
