Cosmos's IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol has reached a significant milestone, now connecting over 200 public blockchain networks alongside numerous private consortium chains. This cross-chain infrastructure is gearing up for substantial expansion in 2026.



The protocol's roadmap focuses on extending IBC compatibility beyond its current ecosystem. New light client implementations are being developed to enable seamless communication with Solana, various EVM Layer 2 solutions, rollups, and emerging blockchain platforms. This interoperability push aims to position IBC as a universal bridge for any chain capable of supporting the protocol's verification standards.

The expansion strategy reflects broader industry movement toward solving fragmentation—allowing developers to leverage multiple blockchain environments without being locked into a single ecosystem.
