IBC UX and how WAGMI

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Co-founder claims first IBC transfer done and Keplr supports about 160k users, but IBC faces concrete UX failures: IBC token non-fungibility when tokens return on different channels, fragile relayers and the need for public endpoints, and confusing channel routing. Proposed fixes include a chain registry, on-chain routing with bech32 IBC hints, user self-relaying via a TypeScript relayer, funding relayer work through a relayer DAO $10M push, standardizing the 118 coin type to simplify addresses, and interchain accounts to batch multi-chain actions.
