Multiple assets

Question

2-assets on a blockchain: I know you are using a different block-chain attribute to track this. But how is the transactional integrity being maintained – Is it like a typical ACID transaction?

Answer 1

A single blockchain transaction that swaps two assets either succeeds or fails as a whole, so it is ACID-like, except "durability" is at risk if there is a conflicting transaction which double-spends the same funds against the original one. In that case the payment in both directions will fail.
