IBC

The IBC Protocol will facilitate the connection between Side Chain and other networks.

IBC Protocol

The Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) is an end-to-end, connection-oriented, stateful protocol for reliable, ordered, and authenticated communication between heterogeneous blockchains arranged in an unknown and dynamic topology.

What sets IBC Protocol apart from other cross-chain messaging protocols is its modular design, which distinguishes the application layer from the lower-level transport layer, much like TCP/IP operates on the internet. This elegant design ensures that IBC is more than just a bridge protocol for asset transfers between networks. The application layer empowers developers to create a diverse array of cross-chain applications tailored to specific use cases, offering immense flexibility and customization possibilities within the ecosystem.
