Is Cosmos Dead?
summary
Cosmos registers roughly $1B IBC volume and rising dev activity, but growth concentrates on chains and infra rather than consumer apps. Builders ship app chains, use Osmosis for smooth UX, Neptune Finance launches on Injective with a novel pcontroller, and token narratives (Atom ~\$1.7B market cap) still drive attention. Pain points: marketing, fragmented governance, confusing tooling for newcomers, and too much focus on DeFi instead of real‑world utility and broader user onboarding.
