Best X posts around Cosmos. May ’24.

From interoperability w/ @IBCProtocol to horizontal scaling with ICS, & now end-to-end privacy with @penumbrazone’s Shielded DEX, the best teams are continuing to choose to build in the interchain.

Let's explore the many innovations Penumbra is bringing to the #interchain. (1/)

I see Hydro as the next step in ATOM’s journey to become the premier Interchain Capital.

ATOM is widely recognized to be unique among tokens.

And we’re developing Hydro to take advantage of this uniqueness 🧵

“The word privacy is a mistake. Zcash is not a privacy coin. Namada is not a privacy chain. They are not for hiding information. They are for restoring our freedom to share our own information with whoever we want….You are born with the right and freedom to reveal.” -@awasunyin https://t.co/FQeVXmnxVc

✨ Slinky on the @cosmos Hub ✨

Excited to be working with the Informal team to enhance Hub security via Bitcoin and @babylon_chain!

Slinky operates as the glue - fetching $BTC price data and chain state to allow for correct distribution & slashing. https://t.co/y83tQyxrc8

1/ Prop #914 (v16 Software Upgrade) is approved ✅

The Cosmos Hub will perform the v16 upgrade at block 20440500 (May 15th).

v16 is full of features that are enabled by the implementation of CosmosSDK 0.47! pic.twitter.com/TwjD1kX72e

Every other proof-of-stake chain requires each user to publicly record their token holdings to participate in staking.

Penumbra is built different.

Penumbra is the first chain to create private PoS, providing privacy for delegators while retaining accountability for validators. pic.twitter.com/heD888JJhc

Wrong. People are.

Now you can get stTIA from even more chains! 🤝

Swap a number of supported assets from Solana or Ethereum L2s and receive stTIA on Stride, all without leaving the Stride app 👀 pic.twitter.com/N33SL8r3d9

The whole point of @cosmos is to empower communities to be sovereign - over their applications, their infrastructure, and yes, even their branding

If a project built with the Cosmos philosophy and tech doesn't want to associate with the brand, that's entirely their prerogative

— Ethan Buchman (🐝,🦇) (@buchmanster) May 10, 2024

To be “cosmos pilled” is not to align yourself with one brand, one appchain, one idea, or one concept.

It’s to intuitively understand that for permissionless systems to scale & benefit from each others network effects, a standardized interoperability protocol is critical.

We figured out how to massively reduce IBC state bloat from linear in number of packets ever sent to constant sized! https://t.co/tfT8vIVEhw

1/ dYdX is currently working on integrating with @CosmWasm💡

CosmWasm is a smart contract language for Cosmos based App Chains and will unlock a ton of new capabilities for dYdX Chain.

hundreds of tendermint chains survived under all kinds of economic conditions => economic security doesn’t matter as much as competitive open and transparent process to pick the quorum.

Over on @Inter_Protocol, there's nearly $5M worth of Stride LSTs backing the decentralized stablecoin IST.

With a mint fee of 0.5% and a borrow rate of just 0.75%, Inter Protocol is one of the most efficient ways to leverage Cosmos tokens 💪
