Ep 624: @cosmos - The Linux of Blockchains? Captured live @CosmoverseHQ, this episode brings host @seb3point0 into dialogue with @0xMagmar and @Cryptocito. Against a backdrop of institutional gravitas, central banks mingling alongside Revolut executives, the conversation traces Cosmos' arc across five Cosmoverses, from Medellín's raw developer fervor to the polished, enterprise-oriented event unfolding here. It's a marker of the ecosystem's maturation, one that demands Cosmos "grow up" to weave itself into the fabric of global finance, governance, and economies beyond its insular origins. @0xMagmar lays out Cosmos Labs' forward path: Systematically acquiring and refining homegrown innovations, such as the EVM comp rebuild over six months into a core stack component and consolidating privacy primitives from projects like Secret Network and Penumbra into seamless, enterprise-grade tools. These advancements, long championed by Cosmos builders, now stand ready for institutional adoption. On quantum threats, enterprises show little concern for now. The panel underscores blockchains' unique vulnerabilities: Unlike centralised systems, they require broad coordination for upgrades, where Bitcoin's inertia pales against Cosmos' app-chain flexibility, allowing isolated chain overhauls without dragging down the broader network, a resilience Ethereum lacks.
