hop13, a member of the cryptocurrency subreddit platform r/BTC posted about creating a bridge between Bitcoin Cash [BCH] and Ethereum Classic [ETC] via a cross-chain system. The post was titled ‘Working Cross-Chain Bridge: Pay in BCH – Receive Ethereum Classic Dividend token in return’.
In the blockchain space, a cross-chain transaction is the one that provides the facility for two different cryptocurrencies to be transacted in a single system. For instance, one can send Bitcoin Cash and receive another cryptocurrency in return. The Reddit user, hp13, who initiated the BCH-ETC cross-chain experiment also instructed the community to possess an ETC wallet known as Saturn Wallet. Disabling Metamask on the wallet was also part of the instruction.
Secondly, hop13 encouraged the community to donate an amount in Bitcoin Cash to test the performance of the system built by the techie. On sending BCH, the donor was said to receive a token in return after the recipient confirms the donation. The total time set for the whole task to be done was stated to be around 15 minutes.
