📄️ Intro to IBC
In February 2021, the Cosmos Stargate release brought the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol into the world. It includes a set of upgrades that implemented the first step towards realizing the original vision laid out in the Cosmos whitepaper — to build a network of sovereign, interoperable blockchains.
📄️ IBC client diversity
IBC was designed from the start to be an open, permissionless and trust-minimized interoperability protocol. These requirements led to the design of the (light) client based approach, specified in the 02-client specification.
📄️ Modular IBC
As the IBC interoperability hub for Ethereum with its rollup-centric vision, Polymer will be at the forefront of solving the interoperability problem for modular blockchains, enter modular IBC.
📄️ Multi-hop IBC
Work in progress, will follow soon. In the meantime, check out the official specification if you want to find out more.
