The Interchain Foundation is announcing an updated version of its ATOM delegation program. The redesign follows months of internal review to improve incentive alignment, support high-performing validators, and empower partners growing the Cosmos Hub and ecosystem.

This blog explains the rationale, outlines the new program, and introduces the initial validator cohort.

The ICF is proud to support the open source movement around IBC.

Since inception, we’ve had two principal aims:

1. Drive the adoption of DLT technologies.
2. Make those technologies sustainable over the long term.

This contribution to the Linux Foundation helps us achieve both of these goals.

The LF Decentralized Trust’s stewardship model provides a well-established pathway for community governance of the protocol’s development, helping IBC become a leading open standard for interoperability.

It also provides IBC direct access to one of the largest open source developer communities in the world, to drive its adoption globally.

[Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ @cosmos]

Cosmos and @interchain_io are contributing IBC to @lfdecentralized to transform it into a leading open standard for digital ledger interoperability.

The contribution is supported by @googlecloud and individuals from @WellsFargo, @FigureMarkets, @datachain_en, @injective, @CronosNetwork, @OpenZeppelin, @cardano_cf, @ZenithFdn, @EspressoSys, and 10 other industry-leading companies.

The Cosmos technologies are free, open-source software provided under their respective license terms without warranty of any kind. Nothing in this post or series of posts creates or modifies any legal duty beyond the applicable open-source licenses, and the ICF accepts no liability or fault for any security vulnerabilities, exploits, or related losses. The grant program is offered on a voluntary basis at the ICF’s sole discretion. Any future situation will be assessed independently based on facts and circumstances at the time, and future grants cannot be guaranteed.

Blockchains that had received security notifications but were unresponsive after multiple communication attempts, did not follow suggested actions, or did not make good faith efforts to patch the chain will not be eligible for any grants.

The Interchain Foundation is committed to supporting the development of the Cosmos ecosystem. We recognize the impact that the recent Cosmos EVM incident had on the teams who trust and rely on Cosmos technologies for their deployments.

In light of this, the ICF is establishing a discretionary grant program to support affected chains that collaborated with remediation efforts. As part of the same program and alongside the community – the Foundation will dedicate resources to further strengthening security practices, infrastructure, and incident response capabilities across the ecosystem.

We will continue investing in the resilience and security of Cosmos. Further details regarding the new grant program will be shared in the coming days.

Between August 20th and August 25th, attackers exploited a vulnerability in Cosmos EVM to extract funds from multiple Cosmos-based blockchains. We are committed to strengthening the systems and processes we rely on for security and are grateful for the collaboration of the affected teams and security researchers.

We inform the community that the ICF will transfer ATOMs from its primary multisig wallet to a CL wallet.

This transfer is for CL operational purposes, as it carries out its role as an ICF subsidiary.

We inform the community that the ICF will begin undelegating its staked ATOM in the next 48 hours. This is to facilitate a migration of the ICF's ATOM to new wallets.

The ATOM will be redelegated per the ICF's new delegation program after the migration is complete.
