Enabling Namada's IBC Transfer Support in Go-Relayer

Background

Exclusive Support by Hermes for the IBC Transfer in the Namada Protocol Poses a Significant Disruption Risk for Users and Developers in the Cosmos Ecosystem. Hence, It's Imperative for Go-Relayer to Extend Support for Namada.

Proposal

• Enable IBC transfer for the Namada protocol in Go-Relayer.
• Currently, the DSRV team is compiling a list of patches made for the Namada protocol in the Hermes repository. We aim to integrate these patches into Go-Relayer. To achieve this, we believe mentorship from the strangelove team would be beneficial.

Todo

• We are currently investigating the go-relayer source code required for Namada support. Additionally, we are examining the patches that the Namada team has integrated into Hermes.

• The precise namada chain information to be used for IBC will be further refined with the assistance of the Namada team.

  • Because it has not been confirmed whether the modifications made for the testnet chain in Hermes are consistent with what the Namada team is planning for the mainnet.
