Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
This blog explores the concept of blockchains and bridges in crypto networks. It defines a blockchain as a data structure for categorizing transactions, achieved via a consensus protocol for data validation. The blog likens blockchain protocols to databases, with ‘closed’, ‘public’, or ‘open’ databases based on their access permissions. It delves into the role of bridges in facilitating communication between such databases, with overviews of 'Human-operated' and 'Light client' bridges.
