Interchain Accounts allow developers to override the default chains and security models configured in the InterchainAccountRouter. These are useful for:
  • Calling an ICA on chains not configured in InterchainAccountRouter.
  • Using different ISM than the defaults configured in the InterchainAccountRouter
  • Adjusting the gas limit for IGP payments or setting other parameters.

​
Interface

The callRemoteWithOverrides function looks similar to the callRemote function, but takes three additional arguments. First, developers can override _router, the address of the InterchainAccountRouter on the remote chain. This allows developers to control an ICA on remote chains that have not been configured on the local InterchainAccountRouter. Second, developers can override _ism, the address of the remote interchain security module (ISM) used to secure their ICA. This ISM will be used to verify the interchain messages passed between the local and remote InterchainAccountRouters. This allows developers to use a custom security model that best suits their needs. Third, developers can override _hookMetadata, the StandardHookMetadata metadata passed to the message hooks for each ICA call (for example, overriding the gas limit for the IGP payment).
