Make Interoperability LIPs direct-channel-ready

gkoumout opened this issue · 0 comments

Motivation

The direct sidechain channels LIP is now merged, although it is not part of the coming release.

Current Specifications

Base Interoperability LIPs (43, 45, 49, 53, 54) defining the initial interoperability solution, contained no direct sidechain communication. Certain parts of the specs were drafted carefully to generalize automatically in case direct channels get enabled. However there are parts of the protocol that assume that no direct sidechain communication is allowed. Some examples are:

  • Message Recovery defined in LIP 54.
  • TBA

Proposed Specifications

At the time when the direct sidechain channels get live, the Base Interoperability LIPs should be modified to result to a consistent protocol supporting direct sidechain communication.

Affected LIPs

0053, 0054 and possibly 0045, 0049.
