Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for bridging transactions across blockchains. The method generally includes receiving a request to invoke an atomic transaction including operations performed on a first blockchain and operations performed on a second blockchain. Generally, the atomic transaction is completed when an enumerated set of operations are completed. A first operation in the enumerated set of operations is initiated on the first blockchain. Initiating the first operation on the first blockchain triggers initiation of one or more second operations on the second blockchain. Completion of the one or more second operations for the atomic transaction is detected on the second blockchain, indicating that the operations of the atomic transaction relevant to the second blockchain have been completed on the second blockchain. Based on detecting completion of the one or more second operations on the second blockchain, the atomic transaction is finalized on the first blockchain.
