@ZackJamplin Founder/Devs that believe their token has value don't use emissions as collateral to borrow $USDC.

How about you give back all the money you took out of $OSMO? Go ahead and drop it in the community pool

@JasCrypto_ @joe4deadcat @cosmoslabs_io @interchain_io is being exploited considered a use case now?

A bunch of Japanese accounts (aka bots) are tweeting about $ATOM, as are a bunch of long time bag holders. IMO, the @cosmoslabs_io team is “wagging the dog” to collecting salaries & influence treasury spends. The @interchain_io can do MUCH better than employ these guys.

@Reecepbcups_ @RoboMcGobo The answer to that question is on 2030 roadmap.

@RoboMcGobo What % of the license revenue will actually go back to ATOM holders vs ICL/ICF pockets?

He's right. The era of giving everything away to teams that then go on to commercialize it and make millions is over. Development work funded in whole or in part by ATOM should benefit ATOM. This is the first step toward that. There are alternative solutions available on an open-source basis (including building your own). This module and others like it are tailored to a specific customer profile.

@AirdropGlideApp @CyberBilly13 @Sagaxyz__ It's too predictable at this point.

@CyberBilly13 @Sagaxyz__ As soon as I saw this post I thought, "I bet this person has Cybernetics in their bio". Well, what do you know!

It's unbelievable how some people can misinterpret some things Your fudding is amazing 🤣 but...we love haters!! @Sagaxyz__ 👽

this meme continues to pay dividends.

@Reecepbcups_ @AirdropGlideApp then Notional killed by Notional

@AirdropGlideApp - Joe chain (killed by Notional)

Given all the Cosmos projects that have shut down already this year, it's probably time to update this list... - Mantra have let everybody go. - Milkyway have closed down. - Nomic never did properly launch or make their token tradable (forever compounding). - Mars got hacked and it's no longer part of Neutron's Bitcoin Finance. - Astroport is in maintenance only mode. - Axelar team has left and been acquired by Circle. - Drop have sunsetted, and decided against TGE. - Pryzm have closed 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). - Osmosis is in maintenance only mode. Polaris haven't posted in over a month. - Orbit Earn are building on Arbitrum. - pStake moved to Base. - Jackal moved their token liquidity to Base. - Demex never did recover after the hack. - Stride sunsetted. - Quaser died, and then their successor Tower also died. - Picasso (and everything from Composable) 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. - 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?

@AirdropGlideApp I'm withholding judgement until @cryptocito releases an update on his 10K Cosmos Challenge.

Anyone remember Osmosis? I used to love watching this app being developed and upgraded. So many good memories and positive surprises over the years. I know the team moved on to things like Polaris (which incidentally haven't posted on X in over a month) but it's sad seeing this once loved app in maintenance only mode.

@AirdropGlideApp @GregWeld I wouldn't touch anything even remotely affiliated with @BlockchainAG ... and Composable. Here's a throwback. x.com/Senpai_Gideon/…

@GregWeld Yes, it died, and all bridged assets went to Zero in Cosmos. It was a massive scam. forum.osmosis.zone/t/remove-picas…

Damn, DYM now moving their token to Solana, given all the Cosmos liquidity has dried up. Wasn't there meant to be an "official" Cosmos -> Solana (Eureka) bridge at one point? Seems they built the Ethereum bridge, then gave up on the Solana part. Guessing Dymension got bored of waiting and built their own bridge.

@0xMagmar Is this work you did at Cosmos Labs in the room with you right now?

As the year comes to a close, I want to call out where we are as an industry, and what Cosmos Labs has accomplished over this year. It’s worth noting that token prices for non-majors are down across the board. This is tough to end the year like this. That said, I think token prices are a distraction from what’s actually going on behind the scenes: we are at a time in our industry when institutional interest, and government enablement, is at an all time high. In so many ways, this is a great time to build in crypto, because we have more real buyers (companies) with real budgets, and very little froth. To me, this is a huge opportunity. But alas, the market has changed. Tokens without revenue are being treated as, well, tokens without revenue. The DAT cash injection may have saved some majors, but across the board, the standard for most investors to buy an asset has increased. At Cosmos, we realized this sooner than most. Although an institutional focus is now the GTM for many of the L2s, and major L1s, we started working on our enterprise GTM (a) midway though this year and (b) with a stack that’s already well adopted by institutions and wins on its own merit. The way we got here was reading the writing on the wall about launching a retail-facing ecosystem at a time in crypto where almost every new ecosystem has fallen flat in its face. We couldn’t let this happen to Cosmos. We made the pivot in May/June. In my view, by not going down this path, we saved the ecosystem 100s of millions of dollars, and saved our treasury to be in a very strong position for years to come. What we stepped into were hard problems - but they are the problems that are worth solving, and with real customers on the other end that Cosmos technology can truly help. We’ve done a tremendous amount of research on banks, and realized their core systems - fundamentally ledgers - are old, slow, and holding them back. We’ve gone deep on inefficiencies with some of the largest payment networks in the world. Many of the problems financial companies have - fraud, payments, middle men, networks of trust - Cosmos is well positioned to solve, just on pure features. And we’ve spent the past 6 months iterating on these theses, building demos, and working on design partnerships. On the other hand, enterprise sales and development cycles are LONG. The conversations we started in June are still progressing. Usually, processes involve NDAs, scoping, RFP processes, and MSAs. Each of these take months - which is intentional because the customers handle more money than all DeFi pools in crypto combined. It’s a totally different ball game, and it’s hard + slow. But we are making progress. Naturally, this progress will take much longer to be baked enough to share publicly. That’s just the way it is working with institutions. I am learning this too, and it’s very different from the “announce every good thing that’s happened when it’s happened” attitude that I had at Skip before we were acquired. But we push forward nonetheless. I feel tremendously proud of the work we’ve done at Cosmos Labs this year, and feel optimistic about the progress we’ve made. We’ve made the stack faster, expanded IBC to every ecosystem, and finally given Cosmos an EVM that works and is free to use. This was on top of doing an acquisition, reforming the development structure of the behemoth we call Cosmos at every level. We are leaner, organized, and can move quickly. We appreciate everyone who has adopted the technology - and contributed back. Next year, the focus will be on turning our current conversations into deals, and deals into products. I imagine the Cosmos stack will look very different, and personally couldn’t be more excited to get to work on the largest network of interconnected blockchains - over 200! - on the planet. I wish everyone a restful and happy holiday, and thanks for being with us on the journey. It’s just the beginning.

@0xjordy @Curious__J @LayerZero_Core @PrimordialAA @StargateFinance At least one of those who is calling for the return to cypherpunk was one of the many predators who took advantage to make themselves personally wealthy at the expense of those who believed their bullshit narratives. I don't imagine they are the lone wolf in this behavior. 🔥 👇🏼

@Curious__J back to cypherpunk roots and no more acquisitions that screw over tokenholders for the sake of the industry @LayerZero_Core / @PrimordialAA did it the right way with the @StargateFinance acquisition

Okay guys, full disclosure. This is gonna be a pretty pessimistic rant about crypto. I've been in this space long enough to feel frustrated with where a lot of it has ended up, so take it as my jaded take, not the gospel. Hope to be wrong btw but… Crypto feels like one big experiment. What happens when you build a market with basically no rules or regulations? You get this wide open casino that pulls in the absolute worst impulses. Desperate retail folks trying to gamble their way out of the daily grind. Plus all the predators who smell blood in the water. Like any hype driven market, the people who got in early or the ones smart enough to exit at the top walk away rich. Everyone else gets rinsed. The extractors have been at it since the ICO days, selling whitepapers like they were the next big thing. Then pivoting to these ponzi flavored DeFi schemes. And later pumping layer 1 tokens with VC money that basically preys on retail who never seem to learn. So what does retail do when they finally get mad? They fire back with memecoins and turn the whole space into pure PvP carnage until most of them are broke. These days all thats really left thriving is perps trading and prediction markets. Like the industry needed even more ways to feed the gambling addiction. At the end of the day, most tokens give you zero ownership, zero revenue share, just vibes and hopium mixed with straight up despair. And somehow retail is still gullible enough to buy the new narrative about tokenizing everything. A lot of these people have clearly never owned actual stocks or voted on real company decisions. Crypto never really innovated on governance either. DAOs are mostly just role playing at being decentralized. In reality theyve achieved almost nothing that matters. Decentralization sounds cool in theory, but lets be honest. Were a species that does best with strong leadership and real coordination, not endless chaos where anyone can do whatever. That said, crypto did accomplish some real stuff worth remembering. It cracked open borderless finance for good. People in countries with collapsing currencies now rely on dollar backed stables to survive. Bitcoin started as truly censorship resistant money, a way to store or transfer wealth without anyone stopping you. Privacy tech is finally getting serious traction, giving people a shot at real financial independence. And there are a few protocols out there, like proper lending platforms and DEXes, that could actually work as decentralized marketplaces for swapping tokenized real goods and services, not just shitcoins. NFTs might even evolve into legit proof of ownership for deeds, IP rights, that kind of thing. Maybe its time we ditch the endless speculation casino and get back to the roots of why this whole industry kicked off in the first place. Building tools that actually make finance better and freer for everyone. Anyways I’ll still be here seeing either a beautiful new beginning or a sad end.

@GTA__VC @interchain_io Plausible deniability

@interchain_io Why write this if no one knows your addresses and can't check it?

We inform the community that the ICF will transfer ATOM, BTC, and ETH from its primary multisigs to two custodian addresses. This is part of the ICF’s ongoing custodianship-strengthening practices and treasury management.

@joe4deadcat @0xMagmar Aren't they due for Christmas break and then Winter retreat? Announcement coming they'll pick back up on Cosmos roadmap in Feb 2026

If you’re bullish on $ATOM, understand that this is the SAME GUY but 3 months apart. Question for @0xMagmar … after a YEAR of collecting a salary, what have you accomplished that benefits the holders/stakers/LPers of $ATOM?

tl;dr of the $OM / Mantra @jp_mullin888 v @okx accusations.

@joe4deadcat @Mrcryptoxwhale you should have written a victim impact statement about this.

@Mrcryptoxwhale Maybe he should change his profile pic before jail?

@CewtsCult @joe4deadcat @ATOMAccelerator @cosmoslabs_io @gyunit_

@joe4deadcat @ATOMAccelerator @cosmoslabs_io @gyunit_ No but once you try the cheeseburgers you'd understand

Has @ATOMAccelerator returned the funds to the community pool as promised? Or will @cosmoslabs_io simply absorb those funds to pay salaries? CC: @gyunit_

Founder writes an essay like he's trying to clear the word count for a high school English class assignment about how his chain is worthless.

@Nick74009411 don't forget $PRYZM

@RayRaspberry1 Jump = $INJ/ Wormhole/ $SOL / $PYTH?

Jump was never really held accountable. Their off-shore wholly-owned subsidiary that inked deals with Do Kwon was slapped on the wrist for a tenth of their profits. sec.gov/newsroom/press… blockworks.co/news/tai-mo-sh…

@whenmo0n @DeFi_Made_Here they are not done.

@DeFi_Made_Here The ICF is robbed everyone. Follow the money as they say.

One of my biggest disappointments in DeFi is that the Cosmos ecosystem never took off Cosmos had the best vision for how blockchains can exist and communicate with each other

@joe4deadcat @StargazeZone @cosmos how people profit in Cosmos...

Before the rumors of a @StargazeZone merger was allegedly leaked by @cosmos hub insiders, the marketplace did over $2.5 million in sales.

@jaekwon @cosmos @krakenfx @krakensupport x.com/Curious__J/sta…

@jaekwon @cosmos next do @krakenfx / @krakensupport and the "lost" 80K USDC x.com/Curious__J/sta…

Crypto.com is claiming that because the memo was wrong in the $atom transaction that there is no way to recover the funds. This is outrageous and not what the memo is for, and Crypto.com is abusing its users. Is it class action lawsuit time? @cosmos @_atomone
