By now you've heard that Quant Network's CTO, Colin Paterson was elected Chair of Hyperledger Quilt.
Hyperledger Quilt:
"Hyperledger Quilt offers interoperability between ledger systems by implementing the Interledger protocol (also known as ILP), which is primarily a payments protocol and is designed to transfer value across distributed ledgers and non-distributed ledgers."
So, I found this to be interesting:

"Can a chaincode in Hyperledger Fabric call out to post a transaction on another blockchain, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin? Of course. Now, do we need something like the Interledger Protocol (ILP) crypto-graphic conditions to ensure that they either both happen or neither? Yes, but this is not necessarily interoperability in my book, it is a connector that presumes that the artifact being exchanged is the same on either side (a payment).
To achieve true inter-platform interoperability the likes of which I suspect some seek, would require developing the “one API/protocol to rule them all” and getting every platform to adopt that, consistently. Even if we could, it would be years in the making. There be dragons."

Is Overledger the true interoperability he's looking for?
