In a bold move, Cosmos co-founder Jae Kwon has called for a
significant shift in the blockchain’s direction following the
controversial passing of NWV #848. This proposal was approved by
the community’s voting mechanism, earning around 40% of the votes,
and it was aimed at changing the blockchain’s native token
inflation rate. Related Reading: Cosmos (ATOM) Bears Dominate As
Bulls Struggle To Drive Price Kwon, expressing his dissent, is now
advocating for a coordinated “split” in the Cosmos ecosystem, a
proposal that could reshape the blockchain’s future. This
development comes in response to what Kwon perceives as “deviating
from the network’s core principles.” “AtomOne” Split, Cosmos
Co-Founder Urges Community Engagement Kwon’s proposal, termed
“AtomOne,” is not just a divergence but an exodus from the current
state of Cosmos, encouraging community members who voted ‘No’ to
join this new venture. The plan is still in its infancy and laid
out in a GitHub repository, where Kwon invites community ideas and
participation in shaping this new direction. He emphasizes a
collaborative approach, urging the community to discuss and
contribute to the formation of AtomOne. The essence of AtomOne lies
in integrating $ATOM with $ATMO/$ATOM1, aiming to prevent a
“complete collapse of ATOM by mass selling.” Kwon suggests that
instead of abandoning ATOM altogether, there should be a way for it
to coexist with the new fork. Cosmos Community Faces a Crossroads:
Exodus And Innovation Kwon’s vision for AtomOne involves forking
the current “cosmoshub4” but with its development path and teams,
aiming for a more decentralized structure than the current Gaia.
This new entity is open to all who opposed the recent vote,
signaling a departure from the traditional paths of blockchain
governance. Kwon highlights the power of the minority in blockchain
ecosystems and the ability to self-organize and create antifragile
structures. His message is clear: those who do not align with sound
logic are destined to fail, and the future belongs to those who
dare to exodus and build a better civilization. Kwon assures that
this move isn’t about abandoning the original Cosmos hub but saving
it and redefining its role. People are completely confused about
the nature of blockchains what power the NO/NWV voters have
altogether inside and outside the hub. The reality is that we
exist, our principles and goals are aligned because they come from
logic and we are about to demonstrate antifragility. The reality is
that you cannot take control of a chain even with over 50%
consensus, even 67%, because the minority can always self-organize
even without your help. And the reality is that those who don’t
make decisions based on sound logic always end up failing in the
end. As the community gears up for this potential split, Kwon’s
call for a departure to AtomOne reflects a pivotal moment in
Cosmos’ history and a testament to blockchain governance’s dynamic
and evolving nature. A conversation that will continue for
“generations.” Related Reading: Cosmos Has A Grand Plan For 2024:
Will It Crush Ethereum? As a result of the split proposal, ATOM has
seen a spike in volatility, recording an 11% loss over the past few
days. However, speculation is that the split will involve an
airdrop poised to attract positive attention for the token. Cover
