IBC Eureka is live — enabling fast, secure Ethereum ↔ Cosmos bridging.

IBC Eureka offers fast, affordable, 1-click transactions between Ethereum and Cosmos chains. It's also the canonical usage of the v2 of @ibcprotocol.

Key product info🧵

[Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ @cosmos]

IBC Eureka is LIVE!

→ Transfers faster than Ethereum finality
→ Send from Ethereum for as low as $1
→ 1-click experience that supports your favorite wallet

Starting with Ethereum, @cosmoshub, @babylonlabs_io, Cosmos chains,
and soon, IBC everywhere🧵

[Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ @cosmos]

On April 2, the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol, IBC, has been in production for five continuous years.

IBC is the most widely adopted P2P blockchain interoperability protocol today, with 115+ digital ledgers connected and billions in volume annually.

@range_org's latest IBC explorer update leveled up with +20 new chains, easy ranking and filtering of IBC transaction flows!

[Range @range_org]

1/ Our IBC Explorer just leveled up.

We now track all key IBC-connected chains, covering 803k txs and nearly $1B in volume in the past 30 days.

Here’s what’s new 🧵👇

[TOKI 🐦 @tokifinance]

Thrilled to welcome @cosmos as a Platinum Sponsor for the Japan Stablecoin Summit! 🚀

@progmat_en × @tokifinance × @IBCProtocol → Regulatory-compliant, secure stablecoin with permissionless cross-chain capabilities.

2️⃣ Benefits to Developers

✦ Custom metadata and token naming on deployment
✦ Easier contract verification on Etherscan
✦ Increased trust in the bridged asset
✦ Complete ownership and control over the ERC20 asset.

These changes may make it easier to list custom ERC20 assets on CEXs.

IBC has been enabled on @Optimism for the first time ⚛️

The first IBC transfer between OP-Sepolia and Ethereum Sepolia has been completed.

It's a new implementation built by @tokifinance & @datachain_en, aiming to unlock IBC for OP Stack chains🧵

[The Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol @IBCProtocol]

8/ IBC keeps evolving because of the people behind it.

Huge credit to the teams pushing boundaries and to every contributor expanding what’s possible cross-chain.

The IBC community has the best builders in the world.

3/ What is the OP Client?

It’s a stateless ICS-02 client built to verify Optimism L2 state using only finalized Ethereum L1 data.

No full node required.

2/ @tokifinance & @datachain_en are long-time IBC contributors.

Their team led work to bring the first bank-backed RWAs for Japan onto IBC, as well as other contributions.

Now they’re building new implementation to use IBC on OP Stack.

[The Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol @IBCProtocol]

Japan's largest financial institutions, including MUFG, SMBC, Mizuho & JPX, are behind @progmat_en, an issuance & management platform for bank-backed RWAs.

@tokifinance @datachain_en build its on-chain infrastructure, including IBC-based interoperability.
