Channels

Mainnet IBC is live

ICS-20 transfer channels to Noble and Osmosis are OPEN on safrochain-1. All identifiers below were verified on-chain (2026-06-25). Independent relayers can relay the same paths — see Join as a relayer.

Mainnet: `safrochain-1`

Topology summary

Counterparty	Safrochain client	Safrochain connection	Safrochain channel	Counterparty client	Counterparty connection	Counterparty channel	State
Noble (`noble-1`)	`07-tendermint-0`	`connection-0`	`channel-0`	`07-tendermint-224`	`connection-210`	`channel-581`	OPEN
Osmosis (`osmosis-1`)	`07-tendermint-1`	`connection-1`	`channel-1`	`07-tendermint-3719`	`connection-11075`	`channel-110497`	OPEN

Both channels use port transfer, ordering ORDER_UNORDERED, and version ics20-1.

ICS-20 transfer is enabled (send_enabled=true, receive_enabled=true). ICS-29 fee channels are not registered yet (ibc-fee channels returns an empty list).

Public endpoints for relayers

USDC (Noble → Osmosis, transit — not a direct Safrochain hop)

The Foundation relayer also clears Noble↔Osmosis USDC for users who route liquidity through Osmosis. This path does not use Safrochain channels.

Field	Value
Symbol	`USDC`

Foundation relayer

The Safrochain Foundation runs Hermes on safro-relayer-1 for:

Path	Status
`safrochain-1` ↔ `noble-1` (`channel-0` ↔ `channel-581`)	live
`safrochain-1` ↔ `osmosis-1` (`channel-1` ↔ `channel-110497`)	live
`noble-1` ↔ `osmosis-1` (USDC transit)	live

Telemetry and wallet provisioning live in the private operator repo. Relay keys are never committed to source control.

Join as a relayer

Channels are already open — do not run hermes create channel unless you are opening a new counterparty. To relay an existing path:

Install Hermes — see Hermes setup.
Configure safrochain-1 plus the counterparty (noble-1 or osmosis-1).
Import a funded key on each chain (fee token: usaf, uusdc/ustake on Noble, uosmo on Osmosis).
Run hermes config validate and hermes health-check.
Start Hermes — it discovers open channels and clears packets automatically.

Minimal Hermes path filter (optional, in config.toml):

[[chains]]
id = 'safrochain-1'
# ... rpc_addr, grpc_addr, key_name, gas_price ...

[[chains]]
id = 'noble-1'
# ... rpc_addr, grpc_addr, key_name, gas_price ...

# After both chains are configured:
# hermes start --chains safrochain-1,noble-1

Coordinate in Discord #ibc-relayers before duplicating foundation paths so we can share monitoring and upgrade windows.

ICS-27 (interchain accounts)

Controller chain	Host port	Status
Cosmos Hub	`icahost`	enabled at genesis
Osmosis	`icahost`	enabled at genesis
Neutron	`icahost`	enabled at genesis

ICS-721 (NFT transfers)

ICS-721 will be enabled in a post-launch upgrade once a counterparty wires in the matching nft-transfer module. Track progress in Governance.

Testnet: `safro-testnet-1`

The testnet runs the same ibc-go module set as mainnet but does not participate in cross-chain testnet relays today. To test IBC end-to-end, connect two of your own local chains using Hermes setup.

Operator coordination

If you relay one of the paths above, coordinate via Discord #ibc-relayers. We track:

Which operator runs which channel pair (redundancy is healthy)
ICS-29 fee escrow funding when fee channels are enabled
Trusting period vs unbonding period drift (avoids client expired)
Joint upgrade windows so a chain upgrade does not trip your relayer
