Swift has engaged the global Swift community to explore how various communities can effectively cooperate across multiple blockchain networks. Currently, institutional investors face challenges with interoperability across these networks, which Swift aims to address by partnering with reputable financial institutions. Their focus is on leveraging the Swift framework to facilitate the transfer of tokenized value across various public and private networks.

Blockchain technology holds immense potential, yet operational and settlement procedures need refinement to attract more investors and increase liquidity. However, interacting with different blockchain networks poses challenges for trading tokenized assets. Swift's Chief Innovation Officer, Tom Zschach, highlights the difficulty for financial institutions to connect with multiple networks in the fragmented ecosystem, underscoring the importance of interoperability.

Financial institutions seek ways to integrate their existing frameworks with blockchain ledgers to securely list tokens and optimize operations, reducing investment costs and technological risks. Jonathan Ehrenfeld, Swift's Head of Securities Strategy, notes the demand for solutions that enable customer engagement across permissioned and public blockchain networks, emphasizing the necessity of a blockchain interoperability plan.

To tackle these challenges, Swift plans to implement use cases such as transferring tokenized assets within a single public blockchain network, from a public to a permissioned blockchain, and from Ethereum to another public blockchain. Chainlink will serve as an enterprise abstraction layer, connecting the Swift network with Ethereum Sepolia, while its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol ensures seamless interoperability between the two blockchains. Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, expresses confidence in Swift's collaboration, anticipating a forthcoming solution.
