A Study on Blockchain Interoperability Protocols for Multi-Cloud Ecosystems
Keywords:
Blockchain Interoperability, Multi-Cloud Ecosystems, Blockchain Protocols, Universal Interoperability Layer, Modular Connectors, Cloud Service Integration, Decentralized SystemsAbstract
Blockchain interoperability is essential for enabling seamless communication and data sharing across multi-cloud ecosystems, where diverse cloud providers and blockchain networks coexist. This research examines the limitations of existing interoperability protocols, focusing on challenges related to scalability, latency, security, and cost efficiency. A novel framework is proposed, incorporating a universal interoperability layer, blockchain-specific connectors, and cloud service integrators. The framework standardizes communication, enhances compatibility, and ensures secure and efficient operations across heterogeneous environments. By addressing these limitations, the study contributes to the advancement of blockchain technology in multi-cloud ecosystems, enabling organizations to achieve better scalability, security, and operational efficiency. The findings are supported by data analysis, visualized through graphs, charts, and flowcharts, providing a comprehensive understanding of the trade-offs associated with different protocols and the benefits of the proposed solution.
