Focusing on stability and performance, the mainnet upgrade accelerates
Cosmos officials announced yesterday (12/23) the key points for ecosystem development in 2025, focusing on strengthening the security and scalability of the mainnet (Cosmos Hub), as well as advancing the technical upgrades of the entire Interchain Stack. Core tasks include optimizing block production speed, removing certain modules that may hinder performance (such as LSM), and investing resources in auditing and testing to ensure smooth network operations. The officials also revealed that the upcoming Cosmos SDK 2.0 and IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol) codenamed 'Eureka' will significantly improve reliability and usability, aimed at meeting the enormous transaction volume demands of decentralized applications.
Meanwhile, the Cosmos project aims to enhance the throughput of its consensus engine Comet BFT, allowing nodes to confirm transactions in a shorter time and accommodate more decentralized applications. If the research and development go smoothly, this improvement will not only enhance the on-chain user experience but also lay the foundation for future expansion of external liquidity and support for diversified functions (such as Oracles, security guarantees, and interoperability).
The Ecosystem Growth Team promotes development, assisting builders with various resources
In addition to technical upgrades, Cosmos is also focused on expanding the ecosystem level. According to the latest announcement, a dedicated 'Ecosystem Growth Team' will integrate resources such as education, funding, and project growth to provide comprehensive support for developers, institutions, and users, accelerating the entry of Web3 technology into the mainstream market. The goal of this team is to make it easier for developers to build applications on Cosmos, assisting them in every aspect from initial prototyping to official launch.
At the same time, Cosmos Hub itself is also evolving: it is expected to introduce more application services on-chain, including native integration of external liquidity and foundational functions such as Oracles. These services will break the limitations of single chains in the future, truly achieving interoperability and data sharing between blockchains. The official emphasizes that security and resilience remain core, and node operators and maintainers must adhere to decentralization principles to ensure the healthy development of the entire system.
Initial results in 2025, jointly creating a new era of blockchain
According to the Cosmos plan, the first quarter of 2025 will be an important stage in development milestones: after completing critical updates to the mainnet, the Interchain Stack overhaul will also be ready, providing more privacy and better performance. In the following months, ecosystem partners will gradually expand, including recruiting more engineers, marketers, and channel teams to meet the explosive demand from DeFi and the new generation of decentralized applications.
The Cosmos team stated that these initiatives will position the ecosystem as the platform relied upon for the next wave of blockchain innovation, while also providing developers and users with diverse opportunities. Whether through participating in open-source projects or investing in the development of their own applications, suitable resources can be found in the increasingly mature Cosmos environment. The official also calls on the community to continue to pay attention to the research and development progress and collaboration plans released in the coming months, jointly creating a faster, safer, and truly realizable future blockchain world with a vision of 'cross-chain interoperability'.
