Cosmos Labs is acquiring the @mintscanio product suite and welcoming select Mintscan personnel to the Cosmos Labs Ecosystem team.
This business expansion adds new team members to the Ecosystem team across product, engineering, and operations.
It also allocates dedicated resources to the Cosmos Hub and key ecosystem infrastructure to support reliability and growth.

Enable 24/7 payments, instant settlement, and programmable money with the most proven blockchain infrastructure in production.
With Cosmos Tokenization Suite, you can issue, hold, and transfer tokenized deposits easily:
They needed to connect the platform for regulated issuance and settlement across yen-backed stablecoins, tokenized real estate, corporate bonds, and structured products.
That required an interoperability infrastructure capable of operating within Japan's financial regulatory framework.
Progmat, which holds a 48% share in regulated on-chain asset issuance in Japan, runs on IBC for interoperability.
@progmat_en is the tokenization platform of Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, the trust arm of Japan's largest bank holding company, backed by @JPX_official_EN, @smbc_group, and @mizuhobank.
- No third party intermediary.
- Open-source and neutrally governed.
- General-purpose connectivity across digital ledgers and other systems: Canton, EVM, Hyperledger, core banking systems, and external payment rails.
- Five years in production, with 150+ digital ledgers connected and $50B+ in asset transfer value.

46% of institutional decision-makers call interoperability important when choosing DLT infrastructure.
What banks and payment networks actually scrutinize is the operational detail:
- Security in data sharing
- The ability to reach counterparties regardless of their technology stack
- The flexibility to transact across consortiums and jurisdictions without being locked into one network.
Cosmos’ Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) delivers all three.
Cosmos has joined the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group (BAG), a senior-level advisory forum organized by the United Nations Development Programme.
Honored to be collaborating with respected leaders at the intersection of blockchain and global development.

Today I'm at the inaugural meeting of the Blockchain Advisory Group convened by the United Nations Development Programme (@UNDP ), at @proofoftalk, Paris.
@cosmos is a member of this senior-level advisory forum, with the @interchain_io. Together with ecosystem leaders and global observers, in this first meeting, we will work through how blockchain can serve sustainable development and public systems through areas like:
Digital identity. Financial inclusion. Digital governance.
Glad to be in the seat for it representing Cosmos.
We will bring perspective from our work in neutral DLT and interoperability as we help pressure-test how these technologies can better serve the public globally.

The team joining Cosmos Labs has been building in the Cosmos ecosystem for almost a decade.
Select Mintscan personnel are joining the existing Cosmos ecosystem team and will operate under Cosmos Labs' new subsidiary in Korea, bringing their multi-year body of work in Cosmos infrastructure development.
Hear from Yongjoo Jung @yongjoojung, Head of Engineering at CLK, on what this move means for him.

A new journey begins.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Mintscan over the years. I'm excited to continue building for the Cosmos ecosystem as part of Cosmos Labs.

@BPIV400@0xMagmar@qxnico@RoboMcGobo The acquisition of the Mintscan product suite and the formation of this team mark a significant step for Cosmos Labs.
Nico Poggi @qxnico, our CMO, shares the thinking behind this move and what it sets up for the road ahead.

Cosmos keeps growing and evolving.
From finding new strength in serving world-scale financial institutions, to the shape of DeFi changing over the last few years, as the line between DeFi <> TradFi becomes blurrier than ever.
At the center of this world sits the Cosmos Hub and IBC, which, more than ever, have a place in stitching this new world of finance together.
But it’s more than that. It’s Skip:Go, Mintscan, IBC Eureka, and many other key pieces that need to be in peak form for the ecosystem to take advantage of this new world.
They have to be in order to support these new chains, to tap into these new markets appearing around them (RWAs, tokenization, on-chain trad-markets), and to ask:
How can we better connect, distribute, and grow these markets?
As @RoboMcGobo said, we are committing to resourcing both sides of this opportunity, ecosystem and enterprise. We are excited to do that by bringing Mintscan and part of its team over to Cosmos Labs. Together, we’ll work together on answering that question.
Mintscan (@mintscanio) has a special history in Cosmos, and its team has been contributing way before the Hub was around. At the center of governance and all the core infrastructure that has powered Cosmos’ growth... we couldn’t think of a better team to join the Ecosystem team at Cosmos Labs to drive engineering, product, and growth together with us.
Their leadership brings massive amounts of energy over, and will help us protect the products that are most important to the ecosystem, as well as accelerate all work across the Hub and ATOM ecosystem.
I couldn’t be happier to be working alongside @RoboMcGobo, @yongjoojung, @gyunit_ and the entire team joining.

@BPIV400 Cosmos Labs Co-CEO @0xmagmar shares the positive impacts that this move will have for the Cosmos community and ecosystem.
Having one accountable team behind Mintscan, Skip:Go, IBC Eureka, and the Cosmos Hub makes all of them better.

This is HUGE.
Cosmos will now have:
-> A strong presence & investment in Korea
-> Longevity for Mintscan
-> A cracked engineering team focused on the Hub
Welcome to the team, @mintscanio!
Going forward, BAG will convene twice annually across five priority areas:
