A crypto term a day, keeps the doctor away: Side Chain (SmartBCH as example) A side chain is a blockchain ledger that runs in parallel to a primary blockchain, where there is a two-way link between the primary chain and sidechain. This allows the sidechain to operate independently of the primary blockchain, using their own protocols or ledger mechanisms. Cryptocurrencies in the sidechain are connected to the main chain with the two-way peg, allowing users to transfer their assets to and from. And an example of it is Smart Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Cash’s new Ethereum-compatible sidechain, which is even ready to be tested by developers through a dApp, to aid its development. #Club1Bch

I still don't fully grasp the concept behind this. With time though I should.
