What is a sidechain?
WHAT IS A SIDECHAIN
A sidechain is a blockchain that runs parallel to the Bitcoin blockchain,
enabling the deployment of new features and capabilities while leveraging
bitcoin’s security. A sidechain is interoperable with the Bitcoin blockchain
and supports the secure transfer of assets between chains.
