yield on everything is how we have a billion people onboarded

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?
