Learning objectives
- 01Assign each operation to the chain responsible for it
- 02Perform a transfer between primary-network chains
- 03Explain why per-chain specialisation exists
Guided lab
Move funds between two primary-network chains and follow both operations.
Independent lab
Document the latency and cost of each step of the transfer observed.
Security angle
A cross-chain transfer happens in two steps: what happens if you stop in the middle.
Assessment
Completed transfer with an annotated latency and cost record.
