gm friends 👋
Earlier this week, I joined Interchain Labs to help build the future of the @cosmos. With a brand-new, highly competent team at the helm, the decision was a no brainer.
From the moment I joined, I knew that this team is built different. The energy at the organization is absolutely electric. Everyone's bullish, excited, and grinding to push the ecosystem forward.
Most importantly, everyone is here to win.
Everyone is here to take the entire network to the next level. Cosmos obviously has the potential to be the absolute best place to build a blockchain application. We have a clear path ahead of us. Everyone's feedback is loud and clear, and we're executing towards that vision.
The Hub is going to be THE hub.
The SDK stack? Best-in-class.
CometBFT? Most reliable consensus engine.
IBC? Everywhere—securely and speedily.
All these parts (and more) when built in cohesion under strong leadership will blow everyone else out of the water.
And to tie it all together, we're building towards a future of sovereignty, decentralization, and ownership.
Cosmos is now, in a nutshell, the ideal vision for crypto as a whole.
And I'm so excited for the opportunity to be a part of it all.
Onwards.
ATOM is pretty cool, because it's a $2.7B fully-circulating token.
Everyone who wanted to sell has long-since sold.
And for the first time in ATOM's 7-year history, the @Interchain_io Foundation has *explicitly* committed to making ATOM a key part of Cosmos.
The ICF has something like $300M in its treasury (mostly in BTC and ETH), and recently acquired @SkipProtocol to accelerate Cosmos development.
In 2025 there's new hope for ATOM and for the whole Cosmos ecosystem.
Stepping into 2025, our mission is clear: we remain steadfast in our support of #Cosmos and prioritize its security and resilience.
Here's to another successful year ahead! Happy New Year! 🥂🎉
As we welcome 2025, we reflect on a year of growth.
The Cosmos ecosystem has overcome challenges, saw new zones emerge and thrive and consolidated itself as one of the most dynamic and decentralized ecosystems in the industry.
A new year is loading... ⚛️
As we prepare for it, let's remember what makes Cosmos unique. Resilience, and a steadfast commitment to the core values of crypto:
Sovereignty, interoperability, and decentralization. The foundations for a new permissionless web.
🧵 Big changes coming to the @cosmos ecosystem! 🚀
After the recent acquisition of @SkipProtocol by the @interchain_io, there's a lot of buzz about how this will reshape the landscape. Here's what you need to know 👇
📣 In support of the @agoric ecosystem and in effort to broaden opportunities for $BLD token holders seeking to expand their DeFi strategies, the @DCF_io has facilitated a liquidity injection into @osmosis's supercharged pool #1104 🤩 👇
1/ On Monday, Hydro’s cap for the second pilot was filled in under 4 minutes!
Given the popularity of Hydro and to ensure everyone gets a fair chance to participate, we will decouple the next cap raises from the round start.
The approximate cap increase time will be announced a few days in advance in our Telegram support group.
IST is the biggest decentralized stablecoin in Cosmos.
It's issued by @Inter_Protocol on the @Agoric chain. Stride's LSTs make up 99.5% of IST backing 🤩
In Cosmos, many decentralized stablecoins have come and gone. But for years, IST has stood the test of time 💪
In this new chapter for the ecosystem, big things coming for Cosmos' partnership with @solana
A couple things we're starting:
1. A Cosmos-native SVM L1 implementation
2. Collab on new privacy tech
3. Native Cosmos <> Solana bridge
As @mert said, complementary visions
Step into the new #Cosmos
Tune in to tomorrow's live-streamed Town Hall at 3 PM UTC to hear directly from ecosystem leaders what the recent events mean for the future of Cosmos.

⚛️ A new Cosmos awaits: expansion.
Welcome @SkipProtocol to the @interchain_io, joining as Interchain Inc, the new main subsidiary of the ICF — join us in starting a new chapter:
The Cosmos, Hub, and Stack — as one.
⚡️ From Ethereum to Cosmos in seconds!
Developed by @SkipProtocol - Skip:Go Fast accelerates bridging and onboarding into Cosmos like never before!
All roads lead to #Cosmos ⬇️
v21 is live!
It took us ~9 minutes to upgrade to v21!
Thank you to the Cosmos Hub Validators for a smooth upgrade and driving the growth of the interchain 🙌
Dear ATOM holders,
96,997,800 ATONE were airdropped to all ATOM holders - even to those who did not vote or delegate.
AtomOne has been producing blocks and is awaiting your delegation to secure the network! Use Leap or Cosmostation to delegate natively!
Congrats on hydro launch!
Looking forward to its growth.
$atom now has:
- security (ICS & PSS chains)
- liquidity (Hydro & Venture Investing)
- NFTs: Asteroid inscriptions & Stargaze collections minted in $atom
The best place to launch a chain & the best token to launch a collection in Cosmos.
Make Atom Great Again!
kudos to the @cosmoshub teams and node operators. ~9 minute upgrade. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
v21 is live! 🚀
Consumer chains can now permissionlessly add up to 3 denoms, and send ICS rewards in any denom and on any IBC channel.
