IBC Channels
The Inter-blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol utilized in the Cosmos ecosystem includes IBC channels as a crucial element. IBC channels allow for communication across many Cosmos chains, facilitating the exchange of tokens and data. The source and destination of a transfer are specified using the channel ID, a distinctive identifier for each IBC channel. Before transferring, it's crucial to verify the channel IDs again because it can vary depending on which relayers are active.
