Frequently Asked Questions on IBC for Edge Networks
Get clear answers on implementation timelines, costs, and technical requirements for integrating IBC with your edge infrastructure.
Standard IBC relay deployment and configuration takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production readiness. This includes environment setup, custom IBC module development (if needed), security hardening, and integration testing. Complex multi-chain or custom consensus integrations can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first 3 days of engagement.
