Since the beginning of this series, we have tried to separate facts from noise. Several attacks have been presented as “Cosmos hacks” even though they involved smart contracts, bridges, or independent applications. The Cosmos Hub, ATOM, and IBC were not necessarily...
The snapshot taken on Saturday, August 22 at 00:00 marks a first since the launch of Crypto Race 2026: all fourteen tracked assets advanced simultaneously over the week. And this was no minor move. Ethereum gained 34.2%, Osmosis 26.2%, and Bitcoin 24.8%. Even the...
For a long time, the Cosmos Hub relied on an implicit promise: the more the Cosmos ecosystem grew, the more ATOM would eventually benefit. The first six parts of this series exposed the limits of that reasoning. Blockchains can use the Cosmos SDK, connect through IBC...
After the fairly broad rebound seen last week, the Crypto Race 2026 is returning to a much more selective pattern. The snapshot taken on Saturday, August 15 at 00:00 highlights two particularly clear moves: Akash is accelerating again at the top, while ATOM has almost...
Since the beginning of this series, we have tried to separate two things that are often mixed together: the state of Cosmos as a technology and the state of the Cosmos Hub as an economic product built around ATOM. The hacks did not demonstrate a widespread failure of...
After several rather gloomy weeks, the August 10 checkpoint finally brings some movement back into the Crypto Race 2026. Bitcoin continues to climb, but this time it is no longer the main beneficiary of the week. Several altcoins posted significantly stronger...
Over the past few months, one word has appeared increasingly often in communications around Cosmos: institutions. Banks, multinational companies, governments, tokenized assets, digital bank deposits and interbank payments… After spending years searching for its place...
The August 1, 2026 checkpoint confirms a trend that has become increasingly familiar throughout this Crypto Race: Bitcoin does not need to rise to regain ground against many altcoins. BTC declined by 1.9% this week. That is hardly an outstanding performance, but it...
After the security issues, abandoned projects, and chains that gradually distanced themselves from the Cosmos Hub, one question remains difficult to avoid: what is ATOM still really for? The token continues to secure the network, allows holders to participate in...
