We have a clear contender for PMF in blockchain: Payments and tokenization. Cosmos Labs co-CEO @BPIV400 explained Cosmos' role in this market, and how the roadmap for the Cosmos stack will make Cosmos the leader in these use cases.

The updated Cosmos stack roadmap address 5 areas: - Performance - Connectivity - EVM - Control - Experience

1/ Performance We are building new innovation in CometBFT to get to the performance that global finance requires. There are stable networks like @cronos_chain that already have 10k+ TPS, and we are adding optimizations to improve on this performance.

2/ Connectivity @IBCProtocol is extending everywhere. The integration to @solana is at the final stages of development. An integration to @base and other L2s is ready for auditing. Plus, we are working on adding native tokenization to IBC, enabling fully programmable canonical asset issuance.

3/ EVM Cosmos EVM remains the best solution to make a sovereign, EVM-compatible Layer 1. In the roadmap, we are bringing parallel execution, full IBC support, and full EVM compatibility at the mempool level. Catch the dedicated talk on this topic coming up from @vladjdk.

4/ Control Proof-of-authority gives financial institutions the ability to run permissioned sets that align with compliance and counterparty requirements. We're adding native PoA to the Cosmos SDK.

5/ Blockchain operation experience Historically, Cosmos blockchains have been difficult to operate. It's time to fix that. We're developing the first enterprise-grade blockchain fleet manager platform for Cosmos chains, with validator & services management.

Together, these updates make Cosmos into a leading platform of choice for enterprises looking to run their own tokenization and asset issuance infrastructure.

We're looking for collaborators and partners to support key parts of this evolution. If you or your company work in engineering, privacy, enterprise infrastructure, or stablecoin onboarding, we want to hear from you. Reach out to us at .
