Episode notes

Zaki: I think there was much needed context on this and I'm really excited to dive into the paper. There's an expectation that most of the Adam token holders are going to be staked and issue liquid staked assets. So there's an opportunity and a need to change the monetary policy because this stake ratio targeting no longer makes sense. We're actually going to publish a kind of follow-on paper that goes into more detail on this, but the paper gives a sketch. And the idea is that we can basically move from an exponential issuance regime into a sub-exponential regime.

Cosmos has grown to become one of the largest blockchain ecosystem, with apps and services trading at more than $59 billion market cap

However, the community has always criticized ATOM, the token that powers the ecosystem, for its inability to accrue value

ATOM 2.0 is here to change that.

Today on Blockcrunch, we have 2 Cosmos experts to share with us:

The 4 proposed changes of ATOM 2.0
How value can be accrued to ATOM after the change
Timeline of upcoming updates

Host: Jason Choi @mrjasonchoi . Not financial advice.
