Those are designto move a wider range of information types between chains — additionally to exporting tokens, they can send contract calls, proofs, and states. Among the most famous ones are the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol, Axelar, Nomad, LayerZero, and Chainlink CCIP. Also, Celer has its Inter-chain Message Framework.
Cross-chain messaging protocols vary in terms of functionality and operation. For example, IBC is the standard for chain interoperability in the Cosmos ecosystem. The chains adopt and use the IBC messaging standard while light clients in both networks and relayers (those who directly move information) take responsibility for cross-chain interaction. IBC is not suitable for all chains — it’s expensive and inconvenient for chains outside of the Cosmos ecosystem.
