According to ChainCatcher, according to official news, the Cardano Foundation announced the integration of the Inter-Chain Communication Protocol (IBC) to achieve reliable transactions and data exchange across different blockchain networks to enhance connectivity and join the cross-chain ecosystem.
By bringing IBC functionality to Cardano, this solution could potentially be used by projects seeking to build a bridge between the Cardano network and Cosmos SDK-based sidechains.
In addition to joining the cross-chain ecosystem, the implementation of IBC for Cardano also adds another option to connect Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-based sidechains to Cardano. This will allow developers to seamlessly deploy EVM-based decentralized applications (DApps) on Cardano sidechains.
