ibc-go
The Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) allows blockchains to talk to each other. This end-to-end, connection-oriented, stateful protocol provides reliable, ordered, and authenticated communication between heterogeneous blockchains.
This IBC implementation in Golang is built as a Cosmos SDK module. To understand more about how to use the ibc-go module as well as about the IBC protocol, please check out the Interchain Developer Academy section on IBC, or our docs.

Contributing
If you're interested in contributing to ibc-go, please take a look at the contributing guidelines. We welcome and appreciate community contributions!
This project adheres to ibc-go's code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
To help contributors understand which issues are good to pick up, we have the following two categories:
- Issues with the label
good first issueshould be pretty well defined and are best suited for developers new to ibc-go. - Issues with the label
help wantedare a bit more involved and they usually require some familiarity already with the codebase.
If you are interested in working on an issue, please comment on it; then we will be able to assign it to you. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you out while you work on the issue.
If you have any general questions or feedback, please reach out to us in the IBC Gang Discord server.
