Celestia’s Strategy to Defend Cosmos
summary
Argues Cosmos suffers internal fragmentation, mercenary validators and costly consensus that slow app‑chain growth and produce chain stalls; proposes a Celestia-led CIP process with rough consensus and specs, an if‑statement hardfork activation (run new binary early, flip logic at block X) to cut coordination, and migration of app chains into sovereign rollups using data availability sampling (sample <1% for ~99.99% certainty) plus shared security to scale, reduce onchain coin‑weighted voting and unify validator trust.
