Cosmos Contributes IBC to Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust

Cosmos Labs has contributed the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust, giving the foundation stewardship of the standard used to move assets across connected chains. Cosmos Labs holds five of the seven seats on the initiative's initial technical committee, with the remaining maintainers coming from Datachain and OpenZeppelin. The transfer matters because IBC underpins cross-chain messaging and liquidity routing across the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond, so neutral governance could broaden adoption among chains and institutions wary of single-vendor control. Watch how the committee balances Cosmos-aligned priorities against broader interoperability demands, and whether more non-Cosmos chains and infrastructure providers join the effort.
