Description
Game of Zones (GoZ) is a technical competition within the Cosmos ecosystem, designed to stress test the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol to enhance blockchain interoperability. Hosted by the Cosmos Network, it aims to identify vulnerabilities, explore capabilities, and demonstrate use cases of IBC, facilitating seamless asset and data transfer among different blockchain networks. The competition, which fosters innovation, security, and scalability, plays a pivotal role in advancing Cosmos's vision of an interconnected blockchain ecosystem. Initially launched on May 1, 2020, GoZ consists of three week-long, Capture-the-Flag style stages, emphasizing the development of robust, interoperable blockchain applications. Teams partake in adversarial testnet challenges, requiring consistent engagement, including maintaining a persistent connection by sending at least one packet per connection every 60 minutes. Building on the legacy of the first adversarial testnet and the Game of Stakes, GoZ is crucial for preparing the Cosmos ecosystem for the launch of the IBC module, showcasing technical prowess among blockchain developers and teams.
