Can everyone just be honest for 1 second please? The "Cosmos" you are threatening to leave has been on the path to slow, painful death for years. The cosmos / cw developer ecosystem is the only major ecosystem tracked by electric capital that shrank last year. We must must must prioritize growth and make big changes to have any hope of the original vision surviving: - Connectivity and control without compromise. - The best businesses and communities on the planet, participating in an open and connected on chain economy If that means you and every single cosmwasm developer leaves so that Ripple, Telegram, Ondo, Stable and others can finally build with us, I will take that trade every day. I am sorry. There are not enough you, and we cannot afford to make enough of you. Hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into the EVM and building an ecosystem, tooling, and awareness around it. Momentum continues to build for it. Robinhood engineers are now learning solidity. Stripe made 2 acquisitions of infra providers mostly in the EVM space. We just don't have enough money to attach the fate of the cosmos vision to the fate of the cosmwasm vm in particular This is not easy for us. We fucking love cosmwasm: - We have spent years building cosmwasm expertise across multiple teams in house - Some of the most utilized cosmwasm contracts on the hub, osmosis, terra2, and neutron are the skip contracts - The first smart contract I ever wrote was a cosmwasm contract. We recognize how deeply important Cosmwasm is to the ecosystem, so we are continuing to fund maintenance and development at 7 figures for the next several years, working with a team that has a long-term product and ecosystem bet on it. A proper announcement is coming soon. If you want to leave after that, be my guest. You should do what is best for you.
