Today we’re proposing something big for the Cosmos ecosystem.
We’re bringing Osmosis directly into the Cosmos Hub.
If approved by governance of both chains, the Osmosis DEX will be migrated natively on the Hub — unifying liquidity, governance, and security under one chain.
This proposal reflects a natural evolution for Cosmos: sovereign experimentation followed by consolidation once infrastructure has matured.
Osmosis has served as the primary liquidity venue of Cosmos since 2021. Now it has the opportunity to become native infrastructure of the Hub itself.
OSMO holders would have the ability to convert to ATOM through a structured migration process, allowing the Cosmos to finally align around a single coordination asset.
Finally, ATOM will have its first true revenue stream and direct exposure to the liquidity engine of Cosmos.
For years the question has been: how does ATOM capture value from ecosystem activity?
This proposal is our answer.
Governance discussion begins today.

@sergeynazarovx I don't see the apple strangely. I tried to disable adblock as well. I am on windows desktop.

Here’s a hot take that might ruffle a few feathers: be careful dunking on TEEs just to make ZK/FHE look better.
There’s a new attack from wiretap (dot) fail that demonstrates a practical DRAM-bus interposition attack that extracts SGX attestation keys and forges quotes. This is a real, concrete break we should take seriously.
Does it mean we should punch down on TEEs? Probably not. A few loose thoughts:
1. Everything has vulnerabilities. Hardware, software, crypto libraries. None of it is magically immune.
2. TEEs have been around in various forms for much longer than ZK systems (TrustZone in mobile, DRM/payment chips, SGX since 2015). Because of this long history, researchers and adversaries alike better understand where to attack. That’s why we see a steady drumbeat of “another SGX exploit” headlines.
3. ZK systems, by comparison, are million-line libraries mostly with less than three years of production usage. They’re complex, evolving quickly, and their unknown unknowns are still waiting to be uncovered.
4. TEEs aren’t a static menu. SGX reflects one set of trade-offs. Other TEEs (your iPhone secure enclave, your bank card, your game console) make very different design choices, often prioritizing security over performance. The technology continues to evolve, and new, more secure options are already emerging.
5. Vulnerbilities will happen to ZK systems too. When they do, we shouldn’t cheer or gloat. Implementation is hard, and discovery of vulnerabilities is part of the maturation cycle.
The bigger point: TEEs aren’t finished products. They’re a technology frontier, just like FHE or ZK. We don’t dismiss FHE because today’s benchmarks look bad. We evaluate it based on where it can go. The same mindset should apply to TEEs. They’ll probably never offer the same security profile as FHE, but they’ll likely remain far more performant and can serve as useful complements.
And to be clear: this comes from someone who works across all three fronts. With EigenLayer and EigenCompute, we collaborate with TEE partners. With EigenDA, we work with ZK partners powering rollups. For slashing, we rely on reexecution consensus-based models where every Ethereum node replays the same code. Each of these approaches has different strengths and trade-offs, and each has a place. What shouldn’t become normalized is the idea that it’s fine to dunk on one camp as if it makes the others stronger.
The verifiable pie is small. We should be working to expand it, not punching each other down. Build, disclose responsibly, patch quickly, and lift each other up.

i'm about to make ten million dollars

ChatGPT already helps millions of people find what to buy. Now it can help them buy it too. We’re introducing Instant Checkout in ChatGPT with @Etsy and @Shopify, and open-sourcing the Agentic Commerce Protocol that powers it, built with @Stripe, so more merchants and developers can integrate agentic checkout.

A vulnerability in certain Intel SGX hardware was disclosed by white hat researchers which affected multiple networks using TEE technology.
To our knowledge we are the only network which took proactive measures to mitigate the impact.

@Kimbalhota @chasedownleads Likely tears of joy seeing her husband closing a business deal

@chasedownleads Hey Mr. Chase, I saw Ms. Income, leaving the restaurant crying soon after, I was the waiter and felt offended, was my singing of happy birthday that bad?
English

Went to dinner with a billionaire last night
Guess who was sitting across the restaurant?
My wife and kids
Celebrating my oldest's 8th birthday
I had completely forgotten about it
I quickly explained the situation to the important billionaire
He understood
We got up and quickly snuck out the back door
And went to a more exclusive restaurant with fewer distractions to finish our business negotiations
Lesson: Cut out the distractions if you want to get rich!

90% of fitness influencers in their 40s look good because they’re single and childless.
If you’re in your 40s with children and family and you’re still looking good, you have my attention.

@chasedownleads 83% of marriages end in divorce, that's why you should never network with someone with less than 2 billion
English

Had breakfast with a billionaire at an exclusive members only club
He told me he's going through a divorce
"I'll lose half my net worth!" he cried
I quickly did the math in my head
He wouldn't be a billionaire anymore
I quickly signaled to the manager and slid my chair back from him to avoid breathing in any toxic antibodies he might be carrying
Two henchmen came up and snatched the man from behind
I could hear his screams of pain and fear as they quickly whisked him away
The other billionaires in the room quickly wiped away all memory of him
I don't even remember his name
I quickly joined another conversation with wealthy billionaires and began networking hard to make up for the time I had just wasted
Lesson: Only network with billionaires

Here’s how to not smell…
Antiperspirants are a debated topic. Here are some alternatives for you:
+ Shower daily
+ Use soap
+ Dry off completely (moisture feeds microbes)
+ Clean, trim, or remove armpit hair
+ Wear natural, breathable fabrics
+ Avoid alcohol
Body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down sweat. Bacteria metabolize your sweat into volatile sulfur compounds, which stink.
We appreciate your attention to this matter.
