While the Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) might be the ICON network’s most cutting edge interoperability solution, it’s also very much a “work in progress.” To jump start interoperability, ICON released ICON Bridge, an “early iteration” of BTP. ICON Bridge uses much of the same technology as BTP, albeit in a permissioned, centralized way.

Many blockchain ecosystems are responding to the challenge of interoperability by developing unique interchain bridging solutions. The ICON network is no exception, with work underway on the Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP), its chain-agnostic, scalable, and secure interoperability protocol.

In this post, we’ll compare BTP with three similar interoperability solutions, namely Cosmos IBC, Wormhole and RenVM.

So many companies want to make the jump into blockchain, but don’t know where to begin. Enter ICON SDK by ICONLOOP, the ICON network’s chief technology partner. This package of proven blockchain modules will ease the burden on developers by giving them a toolbox of tried-and-true blockchain engines, wallets, trackers and other solutions that have been fully tested on ICON.

ICONLOOP CTO Edward Ryu says ICON SDK is in its early stage of development, but it’s starting with a good set of building blocks.
