🧪 Blockchain Blockchain Interoperability Simulation

Interactive 3D simulator of a Hash-Time-Locked Contract (HTLC) atomic swap between two independent blockchains: watch the hashlock/timelock handshake that lets Chain A and Chain B exchange value with no trusted intermediary, and see what happens when a party stalls past the timeout.

This simulation focuses on the challenges of interoperability between different blockchain networks, narrowed to the single most concrete technique that solves it without a trusted intermediary: the Hash-Time-Locked Contract (HTLC). Two independent ledgers, Chain A and Chain B, are rendered as separate rotating block-towers in 3D. Alice locks funds on Chain A behind a hash of a secret she alone knows, Bob mirrors the lock on Chain B with a strictly shorter timelock, and the swap completes only when Alice reveals her secret on Chain B — a reveal that, once public, lets Bob extract the same secret and claim his side on Chain A. Step through the four-message handshake, tune the timelock safety margin and network latency, or force Bob to stall and watch the contract expire safely instead of losing funds, to see exactly how trust-minimized techniques let disparate blockchains exchange value and data.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation focuses on the challenges of interoperability between different blockchain networks. Users will explore techniques for facilitating communication and data exchange across disparate blockchains.
