According to Foresight News, the Cardano Foundation said it has integrated the Inter-Chain Communication Protocol (IBC) to enable reliable transactions and data exchange across different blockchain networks to enhance connectivity and join the cross-chain ecosystem. By introducing the IBC function to Cardano, projects seeking to build a cross-chain bridge between the Cardano network and the Cosmos SDK-based sidechain can use this solution. In addition, the implementation of IBC for Cardano also adds the option to connect Ethereum Virtual Machine-based sidechains to Cardano, allowing developers to seamlessly deploy EVM-based DApps on the Cardano sidechain.
