It was announced in March 2023 by the team behind the Connext liquidity network. (Source: [Lynx Protocol](https://www.lynx-protocol.com/))\n- 2. **Cosmos' IBCv2**: The Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol version 2 (IBCv2) is a new cross-chain bridge technology being developed by the Cosmos Network. It aims to provide faster and more secure transfer of assets between different blockchain networks.

It allows for the secure and efficient transfer of assets between chains.\n- 4. **Multichain**: Multichain is an open-source cross-chain bridge that enables the transfer of assets between multiple blockchain networks. It supports over 20 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon.

It has been developed by several teams, including the ones behind the Wanchain and Connext liquidity networks.\n\nThese technologies are still in development or beta testing phases, with some of them expected to be released in 2026.\n\n## Sources\n- https://www.lynx-protocol.com/\n- https://cosmos.network/\n- https://www.multichain.com/\n\n## Implications\n- **Lynx**: Lynx is a decentralized cross-chain messaging protocol that enables secure and reliable communication between different blockchain networks\n- **Polkadot's XCMP**: XCMP is a new cross-chain messaging protocol being developed by Polkadot, a de","keywords":["blockchain","blockchain-web3","zo-research"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"}}
