A lot of grandstanding about sovereignty, but nobody in Cosmos seems to care about designing products for the average person. This is the power of decentralization.

Cosmos wonders why it doesn't have any users JFC

Why can't I buy USDC on Noble directly in Keplr?

What's the fastest way to go from dollars in my bank account to USDC on Noble?

Would be insanely based. I'm in, let's make it happen

4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Would be an insanely based stack to build on. The question is how value would accrue back to Atom; however now that we're back on track to have a permissionless VM on the chain, the opportunity for us to leverage it more has 10xed as well. I want to see 200ms blocktime + near infinite compute on the hub. Let's get it back to being the most modern chain out there.

There’s a wave of enterprises eager to launch their own Layer 1s, each for different reasons. My mental model for the future architecture of Cosmos looks like this: - ICL @cosmos serves as steward of ATOM, driving value to the token by monetizing adoption of the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT. - Union @union_build takes over IBC development and becomes the natural successor to the protocol and interop tx fee value accrues to Union. - Noble @noble_xyz ensures day-one access to stablecoin liquidity for enterprises and institutions building new chains, with value accruing to Noble (first to equity holders, eventually to token holders). - Fairblock @0xfairblock provides institutional-grade compliance and confidentiality for stablecoin commerce and all enterprise chains, which can be exported via private bridging on Union.

Bear case for stablecoin L1s: if launching a new stablecoin becomes as easy as launching a shitter on Pump, there is no moat; the only thing that matters is distribution.

Nice article on privacy myths by @a16z good to see people actually thinking critically again rather than repeating clichés. I've talking about privacy misconceptions for the last two years, and the space remains one of the most misunderstood categories, shaped by limited applications, bad examples, and ego-driven narratives, rather than its true potential. Funny (and a bit sad) how relevant that old talk still is:
