Cosmos Update: The "Value Capture" Era
ATOM is currently trading at $2.20, showing a strong 8% recovery over the last week as the community nears the deadline for the 2026 Tokenomics RFP.
The Tokenomics Redesign (Q1 2026): By January 15, 2026, the Hub is expected to finalize a new economic model.The goal is to shift from purely inflationary staking to a system fueled by Interchain Security (ICS) fees and revenue sharing from major chains like dYdX and Cronos.
@svkaxe Expansion to Solana & Base:
The Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol is no longer restricted to Cosmos-only chains. With integrations for Solana and Coinbase’s Base in their final audit stages, ATOM is positioning itself as the "universal router" for all major Layer-1s and L2s.
The CometBFT 10k Upgrade: The network is rolling out its performance-tier upgrade, targeting 10,000+ Transactions Per Second (TPS). This is specifically aimed at attracting institutional "AppChains" that require high-throughput settlement without leaving the decentralized Cosmos umbrella.
THORChain Liquidity Surge: A new native integration with THORChain has opened up ATOM to a $500B+ derivatives market, significantly increasing the utility of ATOM as collateral within the broader DeFi space.
