Interchain Token Service

Introduction

This repo provides an implementation for an Interchain Token Service and an Interchain Token using it. The interchain token service is meant to allow users/developers to easily create their own token bridge. All the underlying interchain communication is done by the service, and the deployer can either use an InterchainToken that the service provides, or their own implementations. There are quite a few different possible configurations for bridges, and any user of any deployed bridge needs to trust the deployer of said bridge, much like any user of a token needs to trust the operator of said token. We plan to eventually remove upgradability from the service to make this protocol more trustworthy. Please reference the design description for more details on the design. Please look at the docs for more details on the contracts.
