Crate ibc

source
Expand description

This library re-exports implementations of all the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) specifications available in ibc-rs repository. IBC is a distributed protocol that enables communication between distinct sovereign blockchains.

The layout of this crate mirrors the organization of the IBC Standard:

  • Core implements the transport, authentication, and ordering layers of the IBC protocol.

  • Clients consists of implementations of client verification algorithms (following the base client interface that is defined in Core) for specific consensus algorithms. A chain uses these verification algorithms to verify the state of remote chains.

  • Applications consists of implementations of some IBC applications. This is the part of the protocol that abstracts away the core protocol and focuses solely on business logic.

Modulesยง

  • Re-exports implementations of various IBC applications.
  • Re-exports implementations of IBC light clients.
  • Re-exports implementations of all the IBC core (TAO) modules.
  • Re-exports Cosmos-specific utility types, traits, and implementations.
  • Re-exports convenient derive macros from ibc-derive crate.
  • Re-exports primitive types and traits from the ibc-primitives crate.
