# Eshita <> Polymer

## Context:

* There's mutual interest in a *series of articles/content* outlining IBC (platform TBD), from the high-level comparison with TCP/IP up until (and including) the innovations to IBC Polymer is working on:
    * Multi-hop IBC
    * Virtual IBC
    * Zk-IBC
    * IBC for Modular blockchains
* Currently there’s documentation / content on IBC (ibc-go implementation) from the Cosmos POV
    * [IBC specs](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc)
    * [Cosmos developer portal](https://tutorials.cosmos.network/academy/3-ibc/)
    * [Interchain Foundation IBC Medium articles](https://medium.com/the-interchain-foundation/tagged/ibc)
    * …

There's room to add content focused on IBC protocol here, so exploring this further would be a great start for our collaboration.

## 1st assignment:

**Scope of initial work** to sync on expectations, style etc.

- For the Messari article, you've already outlined a high-level overview outlining the state of IBC, what is currently holding it back and how Polymer aims to solve this.
- You indicated that you wished to do further deep-dive into the IBC protocol if provided the chance (and right audience)

- You can follow up from the research you've done and article you've already written and look more in-depth at the IBC specs, **taking into account**:
    - the series of articles would ultimately lead to highlighting Polymer's value proposition
    - move away from the Cosmos centric view, i.e. look at the protocol, not the implementation (ibc-go)
    - go into the level of depth you're comfortable with, but still differentiates from simply reading the spec
    - focus on the most crucial ICS specs

- Audience: Profiles interested in Polymer, fairly technical, but not specifically targeting developers

## Practical

I will drop some more materials in the coming days but initially the sources listed above should provide a lot of content already for research.

**Questions?**
