Abacus is a developer platform that allows users to build interchain decentralized applications.

Applications built on top of Abacus can share state across multiple blockchains using Abacus' generalized cross-chain messaging protocol.

We envision a world where developers think more about the application they're building than the substrate they're building it on. Where developers and applications are not tied to a single chain. Where developers can build applications that are accessible from everywhere, and composable with everything.

IBC is the intellectual precursor that inspires the Abacus design philosophy. While IBC is the most secure and effective way to achieve **intra-**ecosystem interoperability, it does not allow for communication across non-Cosmos-SDK chains, which is required in the heterogenous multi-chain world that has since developed.\

We believe the next era of interoperability will be defined by interchain applications that are natively interoperable across blockchains, and that do not defer any of this responsibility to users.
