The can you share your sources for the IBC section? It does not follow my understanding of IBC. I didn't right now the cosmos hub is acting as an actual hub for IBC communication, but it does have the ability for other chains to connect through it. However there is also a "web" option that something like osmosis is a good example of, where they also directly connect multiple chains, those are not however routed through the hub but are direct pathways between.

There have been some recent talks for turning the hub in to a "router" network for IBC traffic as is woukd be difficult to scale a many to many approach vs. The hub and spoke one to many version you mentioned, but I don't believe that is currently employed.

Great write up thank you!
