The post Cosmos Ecosystem Targets Ethereum Integration To Better Connect Blockchains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Key Takeaways: Cosmos is testing IBC outside of its ecosystem with Ethereum, aiming for cross-chain interaction across all IBC-compatible chains. The 2025 roadmap is focused on making it easier to develop dApps and improving cross-chain communication, with particular emphasis on IBC. Large fund movements in Cosmos have sparked speculation about the project’s future direction and development strategies. Cosmos ecosystem aka the Internet of Blockchains is on a path for more interoperability and developer-friendly architecture. The potential growth and innovation that Cosmos promises, especially given developments such as testing for Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol for compatibility with Ethereum, as well as the far-reaching 2025 roadmap, indicate that Cosmos will be one to watch. Broadening Interoperability Beyond Ethereum Using IBC Cosmos developers are currently testing the expansion of IBC to Ethereum. This project seeks to connect these two prominent blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless transfer of assets and data. By achieving this, Cosmos aims to create a frictionless environment where assets can move freely between different networks without the need for complex bridges or third-party intermediaries. Interchain Labs co-CEO Maghnus Mareneck announced via a blog post that Cosmos Hub to Ethereum IBC transaction tests are complete. It’s an element of the coming Eureka upgrade to IBC, which will be launched with IBC-go v10. The Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol is a cornerstone of the Cosmos ecosystem, which enables communication between different blockchains using light clients and relayers. This update also has the potential to establish IBC as a global standard for communicating on a chain-by-chain basis, allowing for inter-continuity in networks like Ethereum and Solana. A user could stake ATOM on the Cosmos Hub, yet use the same staked ATOM as collateral in a DeFi protocol over on Ethereum. If this level of composability were to be achieved, it would significantly improve the usefulness of both ecosystems.…
