The Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol has officially transitioned to a new governance home under the Linux Foundation's Decentralized Trust initiative. Both @cosmos and the Interchain Foundation are contributing the protocol to this framework, ensuring IBC remains free and open source for all developers and networks. Initial governance will be managed by a seven-member committee, with Cosmos Labs holding five of the seven seats at launch. This structure aims to provide neutral oversight while maintaining technical continuity for the broader Cosmos ecosystem and interoperability standards across blockchains.
