Octopus Community, a Web3 infrastructure constructed on the Close to Protocol, has introduced the launch of its Adaptive IBC throughout NearCon 2023. This innovation goals to bridge the hole between the Cosmos ecosystem and Close to, heralding a brand new period of interoperability within the blockchain world.

In a major improvement, Secret Community, a blockchain platform identified for its concentrate on confidential computing, is ready to be the primary person of Adaptive IBC in early 2024. This integration marks the first-ever connection between the Cosmos and Close to ecosystems, additional enhancing the capabilities of the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).
Throughout NearCon 2023, Louis Liu, the founding father of Octopus Community, and Alex Zaidelson, CEO of SCRT Labs, the core improvement crew behind Secret Community, collectively introduced this collaboration.
Liu referred to Adaptive IBC as a “groundbreaking improvement within the house of interoperability.”
IBC, or Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol, is acknowledged as probably the most complete open blockchain interoperability protocol stacks. The NEAR-IBC undertaking is a major a part of Octopus 2.0’s roadmap, with the objective of enabling seamless asset transfers between the NEAR and Cosmos ecosystems.
Constructing on the inspiration of IBC, Secret Community, which makes use of the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint consensus and focuses on confidentiality-preserving sensible contracts, is exploring additional collaborations with Octopus Community. These efforts goal to reinforce confidential computing capabilities between NEAR and Cosmos.
One of many anticipated options is enabling sensible contracts on NEAR to leverage Secret Community’s confidential computation capabilities. This integration permits NEAR-based sensible contracts to carry out most of their operations inside their native community whereas utilizing a proxy contract on Secret Community for duties requiring confidential computation.
“The partnership with Octopus is a part of the general 2024 technique to make Secret Community’s confidential computing energy accessible to builders and customers throughout the Web3 ecosystem, concentrating on Ethereum, NEAR and different main blockchains.”
Alex Zaidelson, CEO of SCRT Labs
Louis Liu additionally outlined Octopus Community’s broader imaginative and prescient, which incorporates connecting NEAR with different main blockchain ecosystems within the close to future, corresponding to Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, via the event of the NEAR IBC Port.
With the introduction of the NEAR IBC Port, Octopus Community is poised to play a pivotal position in reshaping the way forward for blockchain interoperability and unlocking new prospects for blockchain ecosystems.

About Secret Community
Secret Community provides scalable permissionless sensible contracts with a confidential by default design— bringing novel use circumstances to blockchain not possible on public techniques. Secret Community was the primary protocol to offer confidential sensible contracts on mainnet, dwell since September 2020. Secret Community is constructed with the Cosmos Software program Growth Package (SDK) bringing interoperable confidential computing to your entire Cosmos ecosystem.
Secret Community makes use of a mixture of the Intel SGX (Software program Guard Extension) Trusted Execution Surroundings expertise, a number of encryption schemes, and key administration to deliver confidentiality by default to blockchain customers. Secret Contracts are an implementation of the Rust-based sensible contract compiling toolkit CosmWasm, including confidential metadata prospects.
Secret Community is powered by the Native public coin SCRT which is used for charges, Proof-of-Stake, safety, and Governance. With greater than 30+ Dapps on mainnet and 100+ full time builders, Secret Community goals to deliver confidential computing to all of Web3.
