Circular vs Interoperability

Circular’s architecture is intended to support interoperability across multiple Circular blockchains, including cross-chain transactions where permitted (for example, subject to access controls on private chains). Smart contract execution is designed to be able to reference state and transactions across authorized chains, subject to defined protocol rules and security constraints.

Our near-term focus is implementing and hardening the protocol features required to support this interoperability within the Circular ecosystem. Longer-term, we plan to evaluate integrations with external networks and standards as they mature. Any external interoperability would be introduced through governed upgrades and explicit integration modules, with security, permissions, and operational boundaries defined per integration.

By taking an incremental approach, we aim to expand connectivity without compromising the safety, auditability, or reliability of the network.
