IBC BRIDGING PANEL
summary
IBC is live since Stargate and already connects 18–20 sovereign chains; token transfers work reliably with Keplr-level UX but occasional relayer delays cause reversals. Major gaps are missing light clients for some chains and the lack of relayer incentives, prompting workarounds like EVM-side IBC via a Celo precompile and bridges such as the gravity bridge to tap deep liquidity. ShapeShift plans a Fox Chain to monetize indexed blockchain data and SQL access, and teams warn scaling to hundreds of chains needs new tooling.
