Two individual blockchains have been successfully linked

[TheCryptoFuture]

Two individual blockchains have been successfully linked, as Blocknet announced last night that Xbridge technology had for the first time allowed communications between nodes on two separate blockchains through their Xhub protocol.

Aiming to construct “the internet of blockchains,” the new protocol is designed to allow separate blockchains to inter-operate.

With no clear leader so far in this world of expanding blockchain implementation, every announcement of further development from one of the several groups in competition, edges them closer to a public launch and perhaps winning market-share. By announcing “the successful sending of a message between nodes on different blockchains” in a press release issued yesterday, Blocknet will be hoping to increase developer interest in the open source peer-to-peer protocol they have placed on Github.

Any details on how it is done? Is it similar to atomic cross chain transfer?

How long until they start sending transactions between blockchains?

It's a custom built peer to peer protocol https://github.com/atcsecure/xhub

Still a very early alpha but it shows the proof of concept.

Title is misleading for what is actually taking place

What specifically was the message, and which two blockchains took place in the experiment? Thanks.

From memory I think it was between the Blocknet blockchain and the XC Blockchain.

If you're interested in the project I recommend joining the slack channel: theblocknet.slack.com Someone there will know for sure and will have better answers than me.

Okay, thanks for the answer.

You mean Blocknet Scam which pumped and dumped their coins with Bobsurplus ?

you lost money on this too?

Yes that's the one.

If two chains are linked, they are no longer "individual" nor "separate."
