Cosmos 2024 Roadmap

• Since 2019, Cosmos Hub has pioneered cross-chain stacks and general proof-of-stake as the largest cross-chain blockchain

• Recently, Cosmos Hub launched shared security and re-staking with Interchain Security, which facilitated the formation of the Atom Economic Zone

• AEZ is the chain’s “super application”, secured by the Cosmos Hub and aligned with the ATOM token through shared security

• Key strategic themes in the 2024 roadmap

⇢Security and composability: Composability for chains in AEZ via Atomic IBC: The ability to tightly integrate with instant IBC transactions

⇢Liquidity: Utilize POL and Liquid Stake, use ATOM to provide liquidity and collateral for the chain within AEZ, and at the same time strengthen the basic role of ATOM

⇢ IBC Routing: Allows chains utilizing IBC to send light client updates through the Hub to reduce relay costs
