Interchain Maximalist | IBC FTW















To be “cosmos pilled” is not to align yourself with one brand, one appchain, one idea, or one concept. It’s to intuitively understand that for permissionless systems to scale & benefit from each others network effects, a standardized interoperability protocol is critical. The early days of the internet required members of standards organizations to align on messaging protocols like HTTP for early internet apps to reach end users. Today, blockchains are converging on >10 interoperability standards (often referred to as “bridges”) & yet none is poised to scale to millions of chains + rollups like IBC is. With this framing, the question of “is x project a Cosmos chain?” becomes redundant / irrelevant in the same way that we no longer refer to businesses as “internet companies”. For applications to scale & reach users, IBC will become more and more critical and for end users, interacting with IBC will fade into the background. Yes, there’s many challenges along the way (not least liquidity fragmentation and painful UX) but that is why hundreds of people across dozens of teams are focused on solving for exactly that. Not a matter of *if* these things will be solved, but *wen*.











Wow, not only does my code actually work, but it works on multiple networks. Interoperability for the win....
