Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP)

The blockchain transmission protocol (BTP) is the ICON project's bespoke cross-chain communication protocol for heterogenous blockchains.

dApps interact with BTP through ICON's general message passing (xCall) contract. Testnet GMP contract addresses are listed below. For more information on ICON's general message passing (GMP), see this dedicated section and standard (opens in a new tab)

A sample dApp is provided for demonstration purposes.

BTP Testnet Network Information

This section contains BTP's official deployment information.

BTP is currently under active development and is subject to significant outages. If you want to develop with BTP at this time, we recommend using the local setup found here https://github.com/icon-project/btp2/tree/main/e2edemo (opens in a new tab)
