February marks 2 years since I joined the Interchain Foundation, and it’s also the month I say goodbye to the ICF.
I won’t be moving to Interchain Labs.
I’ve never talked much about myself, my background isn’t in finance. I spent over 6 years as an international documentarist and photographer, following a passion that allowed me to achieve my childhood dreams. My work reached millions of people, I experienced crazy adventures around the world and I became one of the most popular photographers. I even published books studied in universities, becoming the youngest author in my country to release photography manuals through a leading publishing house. It was an incredible journey and successful career, until something changed.
In 2020, I came across the Cosmos whitepaper, and I fell in love.
The thing about me is that when I’m passionate about something, I can’t ignore it. Photography once led me to leave a path toward becoming a lawyer, and Cosmos did something similar - it made me leave photography. The more I learned about Cosmos, the more fascinated I became by the dynamics of decentralized governance and the potential of the technology to create an open economy of sovereign interoperable chains: the internet of blockchains.
It was beautiful and worth contributing everything to.
So, I started to engage with my account here on X with the Cosmos community. After 2+ years of participation, the Interchain Foundation reached out to me to consider joining their team. I was humbled by that moment, and that’s how my professional journey with the ICF began.
When I joined the community was navigating challenging times. Atom 2.0 had just been rejected, and the ecosystem felt divided. One of my first priorities was helping to rebuild trust and collaboration after those events. Guided by my passion, I led several initiatives, though I can’t take sole credit - working at the ICF was a team effort, and I deeply respect the contributions of everyone I worked with.
My time at the ICF has been challenging but incredibly inspiring. The Foundation addresses the needs of an ecosystem filled with diverse teams, each with unique hopes, ideas, and talents. Connecting with this ecosystem, and, most importantly, the people behind the chains was my favorite part of the job.
Over these two years, I learned a lot about myself. Despite not having a professional background in this space, my passion fueled personal and professional growth beyond anything I could have imagined. The ICF recognized my contribution and promoted me as Marketing Lead.
But I couldn’t have done any of this without the #Cosmos community.
After almost 5 years in Cosmos, I don’t see the people here as distant accounts or anons. I see valuable contributors and friends who have supported me since day one. This is one of the most welcoming, helpful communities I’ve ever encountered, and I’m endlessly grateful for it.
As I end my journey with the ICF, I want to wish the best to Interchain Labs. I truly hope this new organization will make even greater contributions to the ecosystem!
From Law to Photography to Cosmos, my journey has shown me that passion is what drives me - and now, I’m looking forward to the next opportunity where I can channel that passion to make an even greater impact.
This journey across multiple careers has taught me a lot, but it has also made one thing clear: I feel that this is the space where I belong and where I want to contribute meaningfully for the long term.
Thank you, Cosmos.
Sentiment Check: Cosmos Hub ATOM ⚛️
The past couple months have made me more and more optimistic about the positioning of the Cosmos Hub and $ATOM as an asset.
While holding ATOM alone is not enough to have full exposure to Cosmos, I believe not having ATOM at all in a portfolio is the right way either.
I consider ATOM a bluechip Cosmos coin that continues to bootstrap the Interchain by launching new communities and being positioned as an interchain service provider.
Some of the recent developments that have materialized towards the tail of the bear market make me feel comfortable with my ATOM exposure this bullrun which is currently around 20% of my portfolio.
1. The Bullish Fork
AtomOne forks the vision and purpose of the Cosmos Hub into its own (or as per Constitution: the original vision) "minimal IBC/ICS Hub" and resets ATONE tokenomics to the pre-halving tokenomics of ATOM. While this might sound scary, I actually think it's a bullish fork as it will end a lot of drama which held back community growth, involvement and excitment over the years.
AtomOne clears the pathway for ATOM to be more aggressive and at the pulse of innovation, adapting faster to the market dynamics. At least that's my theory - we have to wait and see if that turns out to be true.
2. Product Development
The Cosmos Hub is an interchain service provider that focuses on shared security but also offers a variety of innovative products:
- Interchain Security now launches the next phase with Partial Set Security that allows a much more seamless onboarding for ATOM secured zones. Aether and Elys are already lined up. Would love to see new chains like Noble or established ones like Kava migrate too.
- Liquid Staking has been skyrocketing on the Cosmos Hub. Stride is the market leader in Cosmos with nearly $180 million in TVL, with the Stride chain being fully secured by ATOM. ATOM itself is an innovative LST with the innovation of the Liquid Staking Module by Iqlusion that allows instand liquifying of already staked ATOM, which means you can bypass the 21 days unbonding period and use your LS ATOM across Cosmos DeFi, or exit if that's what you want.
- In connection to LS, which is the largest and perhaps most important category in Crypto, we are going to see a boost of Cosmos DeFi adoption left and right this bullrun. Decentralized Stablecoin liquidity (IST is mostly backed by ATOM) or native USDC/T will cause DeFi SZN 2.0 and ATOM is the most liquid, distributed, neutral and decentralized coin within the Cosmos ecosystem.
- The AEZ is evolving and Neutron + Stride are amazing teams and projects that are fully ATOM aligned - very bullish on what's coming out of that this year!
3. The Babylon Partnership
The fact that Informal landed this huge partnership with Babylon chain to make the Cosmos Hub the first home for Babylon's #Bitcoin staking protocol is huge! If that plays out well, it could not only boost the Cosmos Hub's security proposition but also be a huge marketing stunt as Babylon is one of the most highly anticipated launches this year.
After Babylon, I personally would love to see a similar partnership with EigenLayer next so that on top of Bitcoin staking, the Hub also becomes home to restaked ETH!
4. Cosmos Hub Inscriptions: Asteroid Protocol
The Asteroid Protocol in my view is the by far most underrated new feature of the Cosmos Hub. Giga chads from Delphi have built this amazing feature on the Cosmos Hub. Ordinals caused a huge renaissance on the Bitcoin blockchain, now imagine what it could do on the Cosmos Hub. On a higher level, it could mean that in addition to being a security provider, ATOM could act as a data layer for the interchain. I guess there's also a lot of unexplored territory and use cases but I'm bullish af on the Asteroid team and love what they've built - especially considering that it entirely restores Cosmos Hub community culture!
5. ATOM Staking ›› Grayscale
This news honestly caught me off guard but demonstrates that ATOM is still an attractive asset (14.5% staking APR) out there and as I said couple weeks ago, can never be faded. The fact that Grayscale chose $ATOM for their GDIF which is optimized for generating staking income, is a very bullish sign of life. It will be interesting to see their portfolio adjustments and inflows so that's definitely one to keep a close eye on.
6. ATOM Tokenomics
The ATOM Halving proposal passing was extremely important in my view. Not only did it cause the split up of AtomOne but also did it proof that ATOM is resilient and battle-tested enough so that this proposal passing would not cause a mass exodus and outflow of validators or large staking capital. While there's still a lot of room for ATOM tokenomics to start accrueing meaningful value for ATOM stakers based on on-chain rev models, I believe that there's a lot in the works (LaaS by Timewave, David's proposals on LS-Tax or similar, and some more ideas).
7. Moar Airdrops
The Airdrop frenzy is on fire and ATOM has proven to be the best asset to hold over the past years for maximising airdrop eligibility. We got OSMO, TIA, NTRN, STRD, DYM and these airdrops keep breeding NEW airdrops left and right. We also get upcoming airdrops like SAGA, ELYS, NAM, KFI and many more! Also potentially BBN and NOBLE? Let's see 👀
My bottom line as of today: $ATOM is going to do just fine this bullrun.
