# Coda Since 2019, the Octopus core team has been building cross-chain bridges or components for blockchains like Solana, Flow, Oasis, and Platon. In 2020, we began implementing IBC on blockchains other than Cosmos with ICF grants for [Substrate IBC](https://github.com/octopus-network/substrate-ibc) and [NEAR IBC](https://github.com/octopus-network/near-ibc). In 2021, we built the first multi-chain network to practice security sharing across consensus. In 2023, we released Adaptive IBC, connecting NEAR to Cosmos. Five years of restless exploration have given us a thorough understanding of all the intricacies in the interoperability domain. Octopus Network’s experience and Internet Computer’s technology are the two driving forces behind Omnity's perfection. A fully decentralized cross-chain network with optimized user experiences, like Omnity, possesses anti-fragileness over centralized ones. Omnity will only turn stronger and grow bigger through all the turbulence ahead. Without the faith on decentralization, why should we be here? --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
