Several protocols running on Solana have come together to create a messaging mechanism Cross-chain.
Interoperability and functionalities Cross-chain It seems that they are the future of blockchainBlockchains such as Cosmos or Polkadot, which have this type of functionality, have begun to attract the attention of the community and developers in recent times, thanks to the options that this type of functionality offers to users and also to creators.
On Tuesday, August 23, several Solana protocols have come together to create the Open Chat Alliance, a group of developers who aim to create a blockchain communications standard Cross-chain, called xMS, that offers chat functionality between different blockchains and eliminates the silos that are created between each blockchain.
La Open Chat Alliance It is made up of 19 members, the most notable being: Notifi Network, a blockchain messaging platform from Solana; Bonfid, a name service provider in SOL and only1, a social NFT platform on Solana.
The problem of stagnant blockchains
One of the traditional problems of blockchains is the lack of interoperability. In general, they tend to be closed ecosystems, a kind of “walled gardens”, in which the user feels isolated from the rest of the blockchains.
Interoperability and blockchains Cross-chain have sought to break down these barriers by offering communication functionalities that allow users of one blockchain to communicate or transact with users of other blockchains..
Cosmos is one of the main examples, as it is a blockchain ecosystem built on the idea of interoperability. But it is not the only one, other protocols such as Polkadot o chainlink offer this type of functionality.
The idea behind the Open Chat Alliance is to offer users the ability to get out of those “walled gardens” and communicate freely with users of other blockchainsFor the group, the impossibility of communicating with users of other blockchains goes against the spirit of the web3.
A standard of communication Cross-chain
The group's goal is not to create a new protocol or a new dApp, but Establish a standard for developing chat and communication systems Cross-chain, which can be easily applied to any project, regardless of what blockchain it is built on.
xMS will be the standard for communication Cross-chain from Solana and will feature notifications, on- and off-chain messaging, and SNS support.
In this communication standard Cross-chain, users would use their Wallet addresses as a kind of passport, with which they would be identified in the different blockchains. In this case, these wallets will not contain tokens, since the aim is to avoid hacking problems, such as the one suffered by Ronin and in which he lost 625 million dollars.
This standard would allow Solana users to freely communicate with another user on Ethereum or Fantom.
