https://twitter.com/NemVentures/status/1171535251379634177 The Catapult upgrade paves the way for scaling and atomic cross-chain swaps to power private and public blockchains.
Atomic cross-chain swaps will allow companies to run private chains and create new transaction types that can then be reconciled to separate public chains. Potential examples would be patient health data,retail energy trading, and high frequency and log value internal cost movements.
Companies could store that data on private chains, but then reconcile summaries or digests up to public chains for external settlement or record keeping.
