Distributed SystemsHeterogeneous Paxos and Multi-Chain Atomic CommitsHeterogeneous Paxos exploits the high intersection between validator sets of different blockchain to create a heterogeneous consensus protocol for atomic multi-chain transactions & extends the capabilities of IBC to allow for arbitrary communication between chains within an atomic transaction
Distributed SystemsTyphon's Chimera ChainsChimera Chains generalize shared sequencers. They use a consensus based on Heterogeneous Paxos to simplify cross-blockchain atomic transactions for chains with overlapping trust models.
