According to BlockBeats, the Cardano Foundation announced on June 28th that it has integrated the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. This integration is aimed at facilitating reliable transactions and data exchanges across different blockchain networks, thereby enhancing connectivity and joining the cross-chain ecosystem.

By introducing the IBC feature into Cardano, projects seeking to establish a bridge between the Cardano network and sidechains based on the Cosmos SDK may use this solution. This move is not only a step towards joining the cross-chain ecosystem but also adds another option for connecting sidechains based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to Cardano.

This will allow developers to seamlessly deploy decentralized applications (DApps) based on the EVM on Cardano sidechains. This integration is a significant step towards enhancing the interoperability and functionality of the Cardano network, providing developers with more flexibility and options for application deployment.
