The Solana community has continued aggressively building during the bear market across both applications and infrastructure, but interoperability with the rest of crypto remains an important area for continued research and development. IBC Amsterdam is an educational event featuring technical workshops, talks, and panels to empower Solana developers to use the most decentralized and battle-tested interoperability protocol, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), to achieve a greater degree of secure connectivity between Solana and other ecosystems than ever possible.
