IanGPT Summary of the Overview of Cosmos by Sam Harts

Sovereign Interoperability:
β€’ Core Concept: Cosmos focuses on "sovereign interoperability," allowing chains to operate independently while still interacting.
β€’ Separation of Concerns: Validators and users are distinct, facilitating governance and community contributions.
β€’ Third-party Verification: Enables transparency and accountability, supported by CometBFT's light client support.

Cosmos Stack Components:
β€’ CometBFT (previously Tendermint): Widely deployed, well-specified, focuses on protocol correctness. Limitations include an inefficient P2P layer.
β€’ Cosmos SDK: Highly flexible, application-specific blockchain framework. Future work focuses on performance and developer experience.
β€’ IBC: Standard messaging protocol for cross-chain interactions. Mature but complex, lacking in dev tools.
β€’ VMs: Include CosmWasm, Ethermint, and Polaris, each with different strengths and developer communities.

Cosmos’ Challenges:
β€’ Documentation: Developer resources are inconsistent.
β€’ Community Support: Difficult to find specialized help.
β€’ Upgrades: Coordinating upgrades is complex in a decentralized ecosystem.
β€’ Marketing: The ecosystem struggles with self-promotion.

Cosmos’ Strengths:
β€’ Community: Active, engaged, and ideologically aligned.
β€’ Specifications: High-quality, rigorous specs.
β€’ Resilience: No single point of failure; ecosystem would survive even even if ICF and Cosmos are "obliterated".

My latest report just dropped on Blockcrunch:

Amongst the CEX-backed L2 solutions that have recently launched, a clear victor emerges (at least for the moment). Base captured attention recently by flipping both Arbitrum and Optimism in activity and fees generated, thanks to the OnChainSummer Campaign and Friend Tech.

The report covers:
⁍ Base's background & architecture
⁍ The OP Stack & Superchain
⁍ Base metrics
⁍ Friend Tech & its impact on Base
⁍ Top 3 proxies to a $BASE token

Stake response ^

*stake was paying some of these twitch streamers 100M, so should be easy for them to cover the 41M hole with their own money. h/t @0xngmi
