7. On August 4th, PCHAIN was invited to attend the IEEE P3205 working group meeting to discuss the IEEE P3205 CrossChain Interoperability and Communication standard with AntChain ( Antgroup) , Hyperledger, Xuper ( Baidu), etc. The standard was proposed on 4 protocol priorities including Data protocol, Distributed identify protocol, Proof conversion protocol and Communication protocol.

He talked about DCEP working pipeline, the key challenge of decentralized mapping DCEP way and delivered the proposal: EVM + IEEE P3205 crosschain standard supported by PCHAIN Smart data, AntChain ( Antgroup) , Hyperledger, Xuper ( Baidu).

9. We officially defined that PCHAIN SmartData = PCHAIN 2.0 implementation of IEEE P3205 crosschain standard which will be interoperable with AntChain ( Antgroup) , Hyperledger, Xuper ( Baidu), which means PCHAIN 2.0 and its unique SmartData capability will be IEEE P3205 compliant
