Now that the $ATOM 2.0 vision has been unveiled, it’s time to unpack it.
I had the privilege to contribute to the whitepaper so here’s a roundup of the newly proposed roadmap.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about the $ATOM tokenomics and the overall role of The Hub within the Internet of blockchains. Here are a few thoughts and an attempt at bringing more clarity on this crucial topic. Long 🧵 ahead, buckle up!

1/ I spent some time thinking about how high $LUNA price might go this cycle.
I've read a few price predictions based on how high $UST usage can go, which makes a lot of sense since the 2 tokens are intimately linked.

$ATOM is not undervalued.
It is extremely undervalued.
Oh and a global revamp of tokenomics is coming soon as well. People tend to forget this one.

$UST will eat USDC and USDT's lunch. Some of the retail already understood the value prop of decentralized, censorship resistant stablecoin.
Institutions will follow soon.
It's inevitable in the long run.

- provides chains with access to shared security through the interchain security. 1/

At the rhythm this is going, someone is gonna need to create an AEZ focused DAO to provide first class support to prospective and existing partner chains.
There is a LOT to work on to make AEZ successful.
The $ATOM economic zone has a smart-contract platform, a liquid staking provider and hopefully soon enough a cutting-edge DEX
Still missing a key DeFi primitive: a money-market

At some point, the Hub and the $ATOM community will have to revise their position on CosmWasm and prop 69.

Then I would have to take an extra step to put the $UST on Anchor (either directly from Terra Station or from the Anchor app). Now If both Terra and Osmosis have set up the Interchain Account module and opened a channel between them, that would be an entirely different User X. 7/

Let's say I want to withdraw some $UST I have parked there and then put that UST to work on Anchor for a 19.5% yield.
