On March 29, 2021, the first IBC connection was established between the Cosmos and IRIS Network.
Five years on, IBC connects 115+ digital ledgers, has moved USD 50B+ in assets, and operates with no third-party intermediary.
Today, it remains a neutral, open-source standard for interoperability.
I think this has been a net limiting factor for crypto industry.
The industry became less focused on product and more focused on distribution deals with fintechs.
Uniswap and FOMO are doing well in the NYC meta.
Zcash and Near are doing well by staying away from the New York fintech meta and focusing on product
Wow. NEAR intents is gobbling up TVL.
If you haven't tried it in a while, check out https://t.co/XXvbPtHKzk for x-chain trading. Supports perps on HL, multi-chain memecoins, equities. All confidential, non-custodial.
The product has gotten really, really good.

@IBC_Fren I don't think the Hub as a router is a viable value proposition in a RWA dominated world. RWA's don't need a router.
I think Cosmos Labs will just sell products off chain and buy back atoms/ launch products on the Hub where it makes sense.
The node implementations in Zcash are racing to improve performance so miners can lose less money to orphans and Zcash users can have lower fees.
See the race live here . Block by block
Which Zcash node should you run?
Now you can compare them using live network data instead of guessing.

Sudo has been a strong advocate for privacy and served on Zcash’s first grant committee in 2021. She brings 20 years of experience working across investment roles and technology startups. She was Anchorage Digital’s first business hire, helping take it from pre-product to its first $1bn in AUM.
Today @sudo_ml serves as Chairman and Project Lead of Sovright, focused on technology that preserves human agency.
The industry is so "vault" pilled that when a new (and better) primitive like ATPs comes along, people still just think they're vaults.
As a reminder ATPs:
1. No commingling of assets
2. No oracles
3. No smart contracts
4. Better sleep well at night.
