While providing a broad range of benefits, the fast-paced environment of DLTs lack seamless inter-communicability, internally among ledgers, and externally with existing networks. This limitation forces distributed applications to be single-ledger-dependent, limited to be only executed on a single ledger.
The components (i.e., Merkel Tree, concatenated hashes, public-key encryption) were established technologies, well before the Bitcoin paper by Nakamoto in 2009 [2]. At the moment of writing, we may argue that, according to the Technology Life Cycle theory, we’re at the beginning of the so-called phase of “fermentation”,
