Cross-chain Interoperability
summary
Panelists outline a concrete IBC road map: push adoption across ecosystems, ship a stable Rust client and a third-language implementation, and prove IBC over non-Tendermint consensuses (Polkadot GRANDPA, Avalanche subnets using the Warp messaging protocol). They cite operational progress — 30 billion transferred over IBC last year, building point-to-point bridges with ZK light‑client plans and ZK light clients to reduce ETH costs — and an active relay market of 50–100 relayer operators and hosted relayer services.
