Abstract
A system for enabling communication between blockchains on heterogeneous blockchain networks. The system can include a sending blockchain network comprised of a sending blockchain that includes a plurality of blocks, each block including a block header and one or more transaction values associated with an identification request transmitted by the sending blockchain. The system can include a directory service node configured to receive the identification request from the sending blockchain, and identify a receiving blockchain, which forms part of a receiving blockchain network. The system can include an identity service node configured to receive a trust request from the directory service node to determine whether a valid trust certificate is available for the receiving blockchain and enable communication between the sending blockchain and the receiving blockchain, when the valid trust certificate is determined to be available.
