Kaleido has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to conduct research and development work on an interoperability solution to support verification of state transfers across blockchain instances and protocols. 

The broader impact/commercial potential of this research is to address interoperability challenges within the enterprise blockchain space. 

The project will investigate how smart contracts can verify a transaction (or a state transfer) has happened and has been finalized on another blockchain, which may be running a different blockchain protocol. 

The innovation proposed here has the potential to create a whole new dimension for growth and business value in the enterprise blockchain consortium space, where to date, the focus has been to make the individual consortia function securely and efficiently.
