The interoperability across multiple or many blockchains would play a critical role in the forthcoming blockchain-based data management paradigm. In particular, how to ensure the ACID properties of those transactions across an arbitrary number of blockchains remains an open problem in both academic and industry: Existing solutions either work for only two blockchains or requires a centralized component, neither of which would meet the scalability requirement in practice. This short paper shares our vision and some early results toward scalable cross-blockchain transactions. Specifically, we design two distributed commit protocols and, both analytically and experimentally, demonstrate their effectiveness.
