In a strategic collaboration with the Composable Foundation, Picasso Network has unveiled a significant development in the realm of blockchain interoperability by integrating the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol with Ethereum.
This integration marks a milestone in facilitating seamless asset and data transfers between Ethereum (ETH) and the Cosmos ecosystem, effectively enhancing cross-chain interoperability within the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.
Henry Love, Executive Director of the Composable Foundation, emphasized the transformative potential of this integration, stating, “By connecting Ethereum with Cosmos through IBC and designating Osmosis as the primary liquidity hub, we are setting the stage for a new chapter in DeFi.”
The initiative aims to bolster the security of bridge operations while broadening the scope for liquidity and innovation across diverse blockchain networks, aligning closely with the overarching objectives set forth by the team for the year 2021.
Osmosis has been chosen as the primary destination for Ethereum assets within the Cosmos ecosystem, leveraging its pivotal role in the Cosmos (ATOM) network as a DeFi hub. Noteworthy attributes such as liquidity pools, DeFi offerings, and significant contributions to IBC trading volume, surpassing $30 billion, were key factors influencing this selection.
Aaron Kong, Growth & Strategy Lead at Osmosis Labs, underscored the importance of this integration in enhancing user experience and functionality within the DeFi ecosystem, highlighting its potential to unlock new avenues for collaboration and value creation.
The integration initiative underscores the commitment to advancing the vision of “IBC Everywhere,” harnessing the capabilities of the IBC protocol to facilitate secure and reliable cross-chain communication. This approach aims to enhance security while promoting decentralized solutions over centralized bridge mechanisms, fostering synergies between the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems.
In a related development, the Cosmos Hub community recently voted to set the minimum inflation rate of the ATOM token at 0%, a strategic move aimed at preserving ATOM’s value and mitigating seller pressure and security overpayments. This decision, passed with overwhelming support, reflects the community’s proactive stance in ensuring the long-term sustainability and viability of the Cosmos ecosystem.
