Q: What are Side Chains in blockchain? How are they used in real-world?
A: In simple terms, Side Chains are small blockchains that can inherit tokens from a primary blockchain with its own tokens. The process in which this token sharing happens is called Side Chaining.
When one blockchain allows its tokens to be securely used in another blockchain (which is in a different network with a whole different set of smart contracts), the mechanism is called Side Chaining and the blockchain that is receiving this secure shared token in called a Side Chains.
Currently, platforms like Simpletoken make it easy for anyone to create a Sidechain.
