Governance is one of the strongest aspects of the Cosmos ecosystem and 2022 was a very important year with proposals like Cosmos 82, Juno 16, and Osmosis 205.

They're literally the network's backbone.

Validators play an extremely important role in the security of any network and as the top validator on
@quicksilverzone
and an investor, we feel it's our responsibility to promote decentralisation even more.
Today, we are delegating 7M QCK tokens to 34 exceptional validators 🧵
Initial $OSMO distribution is an amazing example of what project teams should be doing:
- reward early adopters/users
- gamified onboarding (fulfill tasks to get full airdrop)
And now: almost $200m in additional funds for the ecosystem due to the airdrop claiming decay!
Happy 6 month anniversary of Osmosis Launch! 🎉
The Osmosis Airdrop has officially ended.
All unclaimed genesis tokens, ~32.243 Million $OSMO and 16572 $ION, have been clawed back and placed in the Osmosis community pool 🤑
