Interoperable systems engineering
Connecting chains you built yourself, and measuring what each model costs.
The only track that requires hands-on experience of several ecosystems. It does not compare documentation: it runs a hundred messages through each of the three models and confronts the records.
It produces two deliverables the whole Academy reuses: BAC's cross-chain selection doctrine and the taxonomy of trust models.
The track where interoperability stops being a sales argument and becomes a measurement.

Modules
Cross-chain messaging foundations
A single reading grid, light clients, relayers.
The three comparative labs
IBC, XCM and Avalanche messaging, measured under identical conditions.
Bridges and alternative substrates
EVM ecosystems, data availability as substrate, the trust taxonomy.
Designing multichain systems
Assets, architecture, failures, heterogeneity, then delivery.
Capstone
Connected interoperable infrastructure
Deliver an operated link between two distinct ecosystems, with every trust assumption documented and tested.
