Chains that speak IBC can share any type of data as long as it's encoded in bytes, enabling the industry’s most feature-rich cross-chain interactions.
Permissionless Access
IBC is completely open-source: Anyone can build with IBC, and there’s no in-protocol rent extraction or hidden fees - ever.
Security
IBC’s light client-based interoperability removes the need for a trusted third party in cross-chain interactions, securing tens of billions in annual value transfer without a single exploit since launch.
