With @ux_xyz shutting down, Cosmos has no crypto lending
Deposit collateral → borrow tokens → free to use them
We spent more time on IBC to Solana in order to ship it the way it should be, so it may delay a little.
Lending is coming to @NolusProtocol in 2026.
The word "Cybernetics" comes from the ancient Greek kybernētēs (κυβερνήτης): the helmsman, the one who steers a ship.
In 1948, mathematician Norbert Wiener used this word to describe a new science: the study of control, communication, and feedback in humans, animals, and machines.
His central insight was remarkably simple.
Every effective system follows the same pattern:
• It has a goal.
• It observes where it is.
• It compares reality to the goal.
• It adjusts its course.
• It repeats.
A thermostat does it.
A pilot does it.
A guided missile does it.
Even the human body constantly regulates itself through feedback.
The surprising part is that success doesn't come from staying on course, it comes from continuously correcting your course.
A guided missile is off course for much of its flight. It reaches its destination not because it flies perfectly, but because it detects errors and keeps making small adjustments.
Years later, plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz borrowed this idea and applied it to the human mind in Psycho-Cybernetics.
After treating thousands of patients, he noticed something fascinating.
Some people's lives changed dramatically after surgery.
Others looked completely different, yet still felt inadequate, insecure, or "not enough."
The difference wasn't their appearance.
It was their self-image.
Maltz argued that we rarely behave according to objective reality. We behave according to the identity we have built in our own minds.
If your internal model says, "I'm not capable," your actions will often reinforce that belief.
If your internal model changes, your behavior gradually changes with it.
Whether or not every aspect of Maltz's theory stands up to modern scientific scrutiny, one principle remains deeply valuable:
Treat feedback as information, not as judgment.
Failure is not a verdict.
It's data.
It's a signal that helps you make the next adjustment.
Perhaps that's the deeper lesson of cybernetics.
Life isn't about perfection.
It's about having a direction, paying attention to reality, learning from every result, and making the next correction.
Just like a good helmsman.
I find it fascinating that one of the most influential ideas in personal development is rooted in an ancient Greek word that simply means the person who holds the helm.
Maybe growth has never been about becoming perfect.
Maybe it has always been about learning how to steer.
Cosmos hasn't looked this strong in years.
Look at the $ATOM chart and how well it held through every crash and panic day compared to the rest of the market.
Plus it's paying 15% APR while most others sit well below that.
Impressive.

@tonyler_ cross-chain payments are the only version that actually works in practice. nobody's living on one chain, so any single-chain solution is just a partial fix dressed up as the whole answer.
Bitcoin fixed payments years ago.
Now watch the most-funded chains pour millions into hyping "stablecoin payments" like they cracked something new.
The only thing that makes sense is cross-chain payments. $ATOM is one of the few still building something real.
Grateful for 3rd place! 🙌
Built this one purely for the fun of it, something just for me, and it turned into something I genuinely enjoyed making. Think I'm gonna keep it around as a side project for stupid fun things.
Can't wait to see the winners! 👀
Volatility did its thing. But Nolus positions stayed untouched.
↳ No oracle issues
↳ No bad price feeds
↳ Low liquidation triggers
↳ Partial liquidations, so capital doesn't disappear all at once
↳ Fixed interest rates
You're safe ✅
