Abstract

A method for sharing data between blockchains in a multi-chain network including receiving a first plurality of account addresses associated with first and second blockchains and an account state for each account associated with the first plurality of account addresses and generating a first hash tree comprising a mapping between the first plurality of account addresses and the account states, defining a world state trie and a root hash thereof. The method further includes receiving a first plurality of transactions associated with the first and second blockchains and generating a second hash tree comprising the first plurality of transactions, defining a transactions trie, and a root hash thereof. The method further includes receiving a first plurality of transaction receipts associated with the plurality of transactions and generating a third hash tree comprising the first plurality of transactions receipts, defining a transaction receipts trie, and a root hash thereof.
