#015 How to Implement Light Clients Across Multiple Chains
Time: 7.29 16:00 (UTC+8)
Speaker: Phil
Content: Principles, Development, and Applications of Light Clients
Course Introduction:
Whaler’s cross-chain public lecture series is now entering its final stage. This session will feature Phil, CTO of Map Protocol, who will provide hands-on instruction on implementing light clients across multiple chains. A cross-chain light client is a tool used to access multiple blockchain networks, allowing retrieval of blockchain data by connecting to other nodes without running a full node. Once successfully deployed and connected to target blockchains, projects can interact with other chains via the client interface—including querying blocks and sending transactions. We look forward to your participation—welcome to Week 8 of Whaler’s Cross-Chain Public Course, the hands-on module!
