- Parachains currently have to use the relay chain to send messages, which can slow things down.
- A new method called ISMP (Interoperable State Machine Protocol) is being introduced to help improve communication between parachains.
- ISMP will allow chains to read each other’s information without needing the relay chain for every message, making things faster and easier.
- This protocol works like the internet's HTTP, creating a standard for how different blocks of chains can talk to each other.
- With ISMP, lots of exciting new applications can develop, including better messaging and financial services.
- The proposal is asking for funding to support further development and research of this new communication system. 
- This initiative aims to make Polkadot a better platform for connecting various chains together.

Polytope Labs proposes ISMP (Interoperable State Machine Protocol) to improve cross-chain communication and operations. The proposal aims to facilitate "GET-like" and "POST-like" requests between all substrate-based chains under the security of the Polkadot Relay chain. The proposal requests a retroactive payment by Polkadot Treasury to cover development costs incurred. The funding will allow further research and development for the next major milestones, a zk bridge to Ethereum.
