Ethereum Classic moves towards better interoperability with Ethereum blockchain

ETC Labs, the San Francisco-based incubator for the Ethereum Classic (ETC), has announced a partnership with Metronome to build a “ChainHop” Interoperability between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic blockchains. 

“ETC Labs has worked hard to improve Ethereum Classic to provide greater cross-chain interoperability. ETC Labs’ improvements to Ethereum Classic helps Metronome to provide self-governance, reliability and portability to the global community to store-of-value, payment and transactions across Ethereum and Ethereum Classic,” the team wrote in a blog post.

The recent improvements to the Ethereum Classic ecosystem, including the upcoming Atlantis hard fork, ensures better compatibility for both blockchains and makes it possible to implement Metronome solutions to facilitate cross-chain transactions between ETH, ETC.
