Summary:
Dean is weaving together multiple blockchains to work together in a massive network. The ‘interchain’ is a collection of 50 blockchains connected by the Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol that forms a network of distributed commerce. Usually, to bridge blockchains, there is a pseudo-trusted third party that intermediates communication between two blockchains. IBC is like TCP for blockchains – it handles the bridging securely and automatically without needing third-party parsing of data.
