Ethereum IBC Launch Sequence: We have deployed to Mainnet!
April 08, 2024
post photo preview

The result of a great deal of developmental effort has been realized: Ethereum, the original home of DeFi, is now officially connected to the IBC and the mainnet launch is here!

Through IBC, Ethereum can now connect seamlessly with Cosmos, Solana (soon), Polkadot, Kusama, and even more chains in the future, in a manner that optimizes for security and convenience. This connection marks another important step forward towards delivering Composable’s vision for IBC everywhere and a completely interoperable DeFi landscape, a vision which is growing closer to reality every day.

Full Mainnet Launch — ETH IBC Phases

What does this mean?

In order to make sure that the roll-out is smooth, we are taking a Two-phased approach.

Phase One Beta:
Mainnet beta release. In this release, the IBC connection is fully deployed to Ethereum linking the Cosmos and Ethereum Ecosystems. Transfers will be limited by implementing a rate restriction.

Users can now transfer any asset from the Cosmos to Ethereum, and any asset from Ethereum to Cosmos.

The Ethereum IBC connection currently operates with a Groth16 SNARK circuit specialized in verifying signatures of the Ed25519 signature scheme. Our proving times stand at 2 minutes, thanks to Rapid SNARK, an accelerated prover software.

The ownership of the IBC contracts deployed on Ethereum for Picasso is presently held by a team multisignature wallet, with plans to transition control to PICA governance in the forthcoming release. This decision reflects the unprecedented nature of implementing IBC for the first time on Ethereum, emphasizing the need for a stable initial launch. Updates regarding any contract upgrades will be shared in our Discord community.

Phase V2:

Mainnet full release of IBC on Ethereum. We are currently integrating Succinct Lab’s TendermintX ZK Tendermint light client circuit, designed for verifying signatures using the Ed25519 signature scheme (of the Picasso Cosmos chain). This integration aims to enhance the efficiency of relaying costs and accelerate client update speeds on Ethereum.

Also, the ownership of the IBC contracts deployed on Ethereum will transition to PICA governance on the Picasso Cosmos chain.

What can users do?

The integration of Ethereum with Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) is set to be a fully permissionless endeavor, marking a significant advancement in the blockchain space. Anyone can set up a client, connection, and channel to connect. This means that the process will not require permission from any central authority.

While the protocol is entirely permissionless, for optimized efficiency and stability after launch — we have only chosen the most common assets in the Ethereum and Cosmos eco, as options on the Front End. This curated selection allows users to easily choose from approved visible assets for their transactions, streamlining the process while maintaining the flexibility and openness inherent in permissionless systems. This approach not only enhances user experience but also ensures the integrity and security of cross-chain interactions within our ecosystem during phase one of the release. In the future, we will remove the restriction on the front end.

Fees

For transactions from Ethereum to Cosmos, we implement a charge of a $20 gas fee. The strategy involves waiting for 30 transfers before performing a client update; if this condition is not met, we proceed to update every 20 minutes. This is faster and cheaper than competition.

Similarly, for transfers from Cosmos to Ethereum, the fee structure consists of $20 plus a 0.4% transaction fee. The same approach of waiting for 30 transfers applies, with updates scheduled every 20 minutes if the transfer condition is not fulfilled.

We will be hosting a Team Twitter AMA

Wednesday 12pm ET

Recording here👉 https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxPMqpVqqKN

We will be hosting a Twitter AMA Space dedicated to the ETH IBC launch. This interactive session is the perfect opportunity for our community to dive deep into the details of the launch, explore its implications, and ask any questions they might have. Whether you’re curious about the technical intricacies, potential use cases, or just want to learn more about how this launch can benefit you, this AMA Space will serve as an invaluable platform for direct dialogue with our team.

Join us to gain insights, share your thoughts, and be part of the conversation that shapes the future of our project.

What to look forward to

The launch of Ethereum IBC will open a new era of interconnectedness and mutual benefit for Ethereum and other IBC-enabled ecosystems such as Cosmos, Polkadot, Kusama and soon Solana, with more chains expected to join in the future. This innovative integration paves a wave of new users and liquidity, seamlessly flowing between these diverse blockchain platforms.

This opens up new use cases for IBC-compatible tokens, allowing assets from one ecosystem to be utilized in the DeFi landscapes of others. For instance, tokens originally from Cosmos, Polkadot, Kusama, and eventually Solana will gain access to Ethereum’s vast DeFi ecosystem. This not only increases the utility and incentivization for holding and using these tokens but also contributes to the growth and expansion of Ethereum’s influence in the cross-domain DeFi space.

Looking ahead to the integration of Ethereum with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, there are several exciting developments to anticipate. Key among these is the creation of liquidity pools and a diversity of collateral types, which are set to enhance the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape significantly. This integration promises to catalyze cross-pollination between ecosystems, fostering innovation and expanding the range of DeFi applications and services. Moreover, the roadmap includes eventual connectivity to Solana, further broadening the horizons for asset interoperability and seamless transactions across major blockchain networks. This step forward signifies a significant leap towards a more interconnected and versatile blockchain ecosystem.

Transferring Assets: A Brief Guide

To facilitate the transfer of assets between Cosmos and Ethereum, simply follow these steps:

  1. Access the transfer interface: mantis.app.
  2. Ensure you have all the necessary and compatible wallet(s) connected.
  3. Select both the source and destination chains (i.e. Osmosis (Source) and Ethereum (Destination).
  4. Initiate the transfer: select the amount and token you wish to transfer.
  5. Confirm the transaction: review the details of your transfer, including the network fees and estimated arrival time. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Important notes:

  • Rate Limits: Currently, the IBC connection allows a maximum of $200k per hour for the channel.
  • Feedback and Support: We highly encourage users to report any issues or feedback through our Discord ticketing and support process. Your input helps us optimize the IBC connection and user experience.

Summary

Now that Ethereum IBC is launching on mainnet, users will be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of IBC when performing cross-chain operations to and from Ethereum.

True Story😉

RLUSD adoption will increase demand for XRP. On-Demand Liquidity allows XRP to move large tokenized assets efficiently, bridging digital and traditional finance and supporting global liquidity.

Ever notice how TV shows drop subliminal messages that reveal the story without telling you? The same thing is happening in finance. RLUSD is quietly stepping in to buy US bonds and absorb debt. XRP handles the settlements. Connect the dots, this is the blueprint for global liquidity.

Theta Edgecloud 🚀

(((What EdgeCloud Actually Offers)))

Distributed GPU Network

Thousands of small GPU nodes worldwide.

Businesses don’t need to own or rent giant data center GPUs; they can tap into the network on-demand.

Pay-as-you-go AI compute

Instead of renting a full GPU for a month, you can run inference workloads by the minute or per-token.

Lower barrier to entry for small devs or startups.

Scalability

If a company suddenly needs 10,000 GPUs worth of compute (AI video transcoding, bulk inference, live streaming tasks), EdgeCloud can provision across its decentralized network.

This would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to build in-house.

Specialized workloads

Theta is targeting video, streaming, and real-time AI (things like live video captioning, AI-generated avatars, NFT DRM, etc.).

Use cases where edge-location compute (close to end users) reduces latency.

(((Do businesses need it?)))

Yes, for certain cases:

A streaming platform that needs AI-powered real-time video enhancement.

A gaming or metaverse project requiring low-latency AI NPCs or avatars.

An enterprise needing burst access to GPUs without managing their own...

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.
