From @0xMagmar & @BPIV400 to @Cosmos ⚛️ --- Warning: Long post --- For us, the @interchain_io acquisition of @SkipProtocol has been tremendously emotional. For years, Skip has been our entire identity. We’re incredibly proud of the team, reputation, and products we've built,

Actually, "Public L1 by public company" may become the way companies do API ecosystems. Using blockchains to create an open ecosystem where the native building blocks are provided by the Co and smart contracts have direct access to them.

Now google too

This paragraph from the @arc litepaper does a great job of capturing how being an L1 unlocks better stablecoin & payments experiences for their end users: "The cornerstone of this model is Arc’s deterministic finality. Because a transaction is final within a single block

For those that are new here: this is correct 3 yrs ago we designed Noble to be purpose built for stablecoin issuance optimized for IBC 3 yrs later, we’re building on the v1 vision to make stablecoins useful in the real world: for issuers, users & distributors Long live @cosmos

We call them L2s because they took 2 Ls in 24 hours

This isn't a 1 off. This is the start of a massive trend of real businesses building their own L1 blockchains. We're in talks with tons of other companies (including some major fortune 500s) who are considering launching their own L1s. Years ago, enterprise blockchains failed

one must realize that the appchain thesis is the future that prioritizes apps over chains the most. (?_?) when all apps are chains, we stop paying premiums to and for generic base layers and instead value the apps themselves initia

I don't have the data but it seems like: 1. The majority of x-chain bridging is stablecoins 2. The proportion of all bridging attributable to stablecoins is growing all the time Stables are connecting everything, and stablecoin issuers are about to be the real bridges

Blockchain devs -- I have heard many times that TPS and other "performance metrics" are BS (+ I've seen many teams stretch their own numbers) What are actually useful ways to measure performance? We want to optimize the hell out of Cosmos latency and throughput

Question the quietness of the cosmos

To be honest, we were very surprised by this news. We've been 100% locked in on the Cosmos DEX for 4-5 months, working very closely with the ICL on product and GTM. The DEX is even about 80% done - we thought the EVM was going to launch in the next couple months. That said, I

The first 6 months has been challenging, but we've learned a ton. We've been in startup mode and we still are. Startup mode means trying things, rapidly iterating, throwing out what fails, and doubling down on what works. The challenge: The Cosmos stack has PMF with great

We're super grateful to Confio for their work over the years but we're also extremely excited for Hadron (developer of @neutron_org to take over CW maintenance) I've been getting a ton of questions about the reasoning for the change. 3 big reasons: 1. In the past, we invested

Probably nothing

Can everyone just be honest for 1 second please? The "Cosmos" you are threatening to leave has been on the path to slow, painful death for years. The cosmos / cw developer ecosystem is the only major ecosystem tracked by electric capital that shrank last year. We must must

My bet: In the long run, asset issuers who can mint the asset themselves and use their reserves to “insure” token holders against finality risk are the only “solvers” that matter. Circle is leading the way with CCTP V2: - instant transfers - 1 bip fee - 10-100m in capacity

Amazing turnout and tons of new Cosmos EVM chains announced and launched: 1/ @Ripple’s EVM side chain launched 2/ @TacBuild - the telegram defi chain 3/ @babylonlabs_io - BTC defi hub (And unlike other stacks, we don’t need to pay these teams $100m to build with us)

Happy 4th Birthday @osmosiszone!
