Share this article. The Cosmos hub community rejected the ATOM 2.0 proposal in a heated vote. Based on a whitepaper written by Cosmos founder Ethan Buchman and 11 others, the proposal was promoted as the next step in Cosmos hub’s evolution. The whitepaper proposed a radical change in ATOM’s tokenomics as well as building two new tools, Interchain Allocator (and Interchain Scheduler), which they claimed would help cement Cosmos Hub’s position as one of the most important appchains within the wider Cosmos ecosystem. However, the vote was tight until the end. The final result was 47.51% in favor, 37.39% voted for “NoWithVeto”, 13.27% abstained and 1.82% simply voted yes. Although most tokens were pledged in favor, Cosmos Hub has its governance mechanics that ensure that a proposal can’t pass if more that 33.4% of the voters vote for “NoWithVeto”. This prevents the Hub falling prey to 51% attacks. Even if it passed, amendments would be necessary. Even if the proposal passes, amendments will be needed. The Interchain Scheduler is an on-chain MEV exchange, while the Interchain Allocator would enable mutual stakeholding across different IBC chain chains. This is a very interesting issue. The whitepaper advocated for increasing the issuance rate of ATOM tokens temporarily to help subsidize the Hub and then decreasing emissions over the course of 36 months. Critics argued that the Hub should not change its monetary policy and that there were no details about how it would use the ATOM. Others were skeptical that ATOM emissions could be replaced by other sources by the time they wane. The likelihood is that the various components of ATOM 2.0 will be resubmitted to community for voting as their individual projects. This is similar to how a detailed proposal to Interchain Security, another ambitious initiative to position Cosmos Hub at the center of the Cosmos ecosystem, was passed in March.
