IBC channels are a key component of the Inter-blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol used in the Cosmos ecosystem.
IBC channels enable communication between different Cosmos chains,
allowing the transfer of tokens and data between them.
Each IBC channel has a unique identifier known as the channel ID,
which is used to specify the source and destination of a transfer.
The channel ID can change depending on which relayers are active, so it’s important to
double-check the channel IDs before making a transfer.:::tip
