On Wednesday, the Interchain Foundation, a Swiss charitable functioning as a guardian of the Cosmos (ATOM) ecological community, revealed the launch of Gravity Bridge as constructed by decentralized access provider Althea. Gravity Bridge makes it possible for the transfer of ERC-20 symbols in between Ethereum (ETH) as well as Cosmos blockchains. During its first phases, Gravity Bridge will certainly run as a standalone chain prior to moving to Cosmos Hub very early following year. Key technological functions consist of compatible token issuance throughout both chains as well as the assistance of Ethereum to Cosmos oracles.
Simpier released the adhering to declaration pertaining to the launch:
In this interoperable ecological community, Gravity Bridge’s location is a fundamental item of facilities, readily available to all Cosmos chains honestly, purpose-built to upgrade as well as repeat swiftly, as well as promote the bridge demands of the chains that engage with it. Open markets as well as smooth trading unlock liquidity for all. This is the future that boosts done in the Cosmos network as well as sustains the ATOM worth as well as ecological community for the Internet of Blockchains.

In March, the Inter-Blockchain Communication, or IBC, procedure introduced on the Cosmos network, permitting the interaction as well as transfer of electronic possessions throughout various blockchains. Since after that, there are currently over 20 blockchains sustaining IBC. Peng Zhong, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of Tendermint, the core programmer of the Cosmos network, claimed in a meeting with Cointelegraph that he anticipates to see “about 200 chains connected through Cosmos’ IBC next year.”
Billy Rennekamp, Cosmos Hub lead at the Interchain Foundation, included:
The Stargate upgrade as well as launch of IBC was the dawn of interoperability, currently the Gravity Bridge as well as our partnership to make certain bridge safety and security with Interchain Security concrete Cosmos Hub as the bedrock for the Internet of Blockchains.
