As ATOM gets ready to drop out of the Top 100 tokens by Market Cap on Coingecko, let's take a look at what's happening in the ecosystem:
- Axelar team has been acquired by Circle. Old token and project left behind.
- Drop have sunsetted, and decided against TGE.
- Pryzm are closing down.
- Akash is migrating away, likely to Solana.
- Noble decided against launching their much awaited token in Cosmos.
- Elys are moving to Base.
- Stargaze are sunsetting their chain.
- Sei decided to kill the Cosmos part of their chain completely.
- Shade Protocol have moved to Sei (as Feather).
- Orbit Earn are building on Arbitrum.
- pStake moved to Base.
- Jackal moved their token liquidity to Base.
- Demex are likely moving to Monad (as Celeris).
- Stride sunsetted.
- Quaser died, and then their successor Tower also died.
- Picasso (and everything from Compostable) died, and even stranded all the bridged SOL in Cosmos.
- Evmos died and even gifted all the tech for Cosmos EVM, but they decided not to use it on the Hub.
- Loads of DEX closed down: Wynd, Hopers, Junoswap, Loop, Ura, Phoenix, TerraSwap, Sienna, Blizzard, SecretSwap, Cresent, WhiteWhale, Gravity, Sifchain...
- Not to mention everything that died when Terra died.
- Loads of Injective apps died (Dojo Swap, Injera etc) I think they only have Helix and Neptune now. Pivot to EVM.
- Kujira died, and took loads of apps with it like Fusion, Levana etc. Rujira seems dead.
- Comdex died, I think they were going to try and become a PCS chain on the hub, then decided what's the point.
- Omniflix moved to Base (as Flixdotfun)
- Penumbra closed down (other privacy chains like Namada and Secret also seem dead).
- Unicornandmemes decided not to make UWU transferrable in Cosmos, and moved to Solana.
- Anyone remember Juno? And don't get me started on NETA
Everything is fine, right?

"ATOM isnβt just for staking. Itβs the currency of on-chain creativity."Β
"Youβve staked ATOM. Youβve voted with ATOM. Now itβs time to create with ATOM."Β
βATOM isnβt just for validators. Itβs for visionaries.β
"The culture layer of Cosmos is here - and it runs on ATOM."Β
βCosmos Just Got Fun.β
Collect. Create. Play. Get Paid - all with your ATOM.
Needs a unified front that turns Cosmos into an interchain playground, not just a validator conference.
1. Most Cosmos users stake ATOM and forget it.
2. But what if you could use it to collect art, support creators, and build culture?
3. Meet Stargaze β the NFT marketplace powered by ATOM.
4. Your ATOM just got its most meaningful use case yet.
