The Jackal Protocol is committed to enhancing AEZ consumer chains by delivering all of Jackal’s data storage functionality out of the box through IBC. This implementation is locally on-chain, accessible through a simple smart contract call. This will enable every application and user within the AEZ ecosystem to locally manage and store data, ensuring self-custody with minimal effort. Marking a significant milestone in the blockchain domain, this innovation allows for the creation of fully decentralized full-stack applications without the need for centralized middleware, all within the AEZ and using IBC.

The success of IBC and the Appchain thesis is underscored by this development, highlighting the intrinsic advantages of our approach. By adopting the Jackal Protocol natively at the chain layer, applications within the AEZ are not only strengthened but also pave the way for exploring new opportunities across various domains. Developers now have the tools to venture into areas such as AI/ML, data marketplaces, compute over data, e-signatures, decentralized science (DeSci), the Internet of Things (IoT), publishing, content delivery networks (CDNs), peer-to-peer file transfer, and much more, creating applications in the AEZ that were previously unimaginable.

This breakthrough has been made possible thanks to the technological contributions of Serdar from the Interchain Foundation and Bi Phan from Jackal Labs, specifically through the development of the CosmWasm Interchain Accounts Controller. Their work has not only garnered recognition, such as Serdar’s first-place finish at AEZ Dorahacks, but also through Bi’s insightful exploration of leveraging cutting-edge IBC technology for Jackal outposts within the Interchain Ecosystem. This would be the first mainnet implementation of CW Interchain Accounts Controler Contracts.

Finally – by introducing the Jackal Outpost to the AEZ generates passive revenue for the Cosmos Hub or Consumer Chain Community Pools through a Jackal Outpost tax, which the rates will be subject to community governance. This initiative not only signifies a leap forward in our technological capabilities but also reinforces our commitment to community benefits and sustainable growth within the AEZ ecosystem.

This is why IBC and the Appchain Thesis wins.

To summarize:- Jackal Protocol proposes the first mainnet use of CosmWasm Interchain Accounts Controller Contracts. – This outpost will drive revenue directly to AEZ chains or the Hub’s community pools via a Tax. – Every current and future AEZ consumer chain will have on-chain access to all of Jackal’s functionality out of the box with a simple smart contract call.
