IPC (InterPlanetary Consensus)

InterPlanetary Consensus (IPC) is a revolutionary blockchain technology that powers planetary-scale.

Description
Interplanetary Consensus (IPC) is a framework that enables on-demand horizontal scalability of networks, by deploying ""subnets"" running different consensus algorithms depending on the application's requirements. IPC is a scaling solution intentionally designed to achieve considerable performance, decentralization and security for dApps. It ac...

Additional Details

The IPC team is working on delivering IPC features incrementally based on the roadmap planning in milestones. We expect to deliver a market-ready GA version by Milestone 3. The rough roadmap of IPC is:

✅ Milestone 1: The testnet-ready version to deploy a Lotus-based IPC subnet.

✅ Milestone2.5: IPC preview.

  • This milestone migrates away from the Eudico/Lotus stack to the Fendermint stack.
  • Developers can spin up new IPC subnets anchored on Filecoin's Calibration network for general purposes with the fast block time and finality, not customization at this stage.

[WIP] Milestone 3: Production-grade manually-created, customizable L2+ networks

  • Audited and tested a version of the Fendermint stack that is safe to deploy production apps and move customers’ funds into (well-designed) subnets.

Milestone 4: Support for user-deployed Wasm actors + multi-subnet apps + QoL improvements.

  • Developments from the FVM team make it safe to support user-deployed Wasm actors and runtimes.

  • Streamlines the operation of multi-subnet/federated apps by introducing multi-hop networks and subnet-aware wallets.

  • Network-wide and subnet explorers, plus better infra recipes are introduced at this stage.
