Evolve your chain
summary
Evolve replaces traditional PoS validator sets with a single-sequencer architecture that posts blobs to Celestia’s data availability layer, cutting validator overhead and token inflation. It runs as a drop‑in replacement for CometBFT (one line change for Cosmos SDK), supports EVM and Cosmos execution clients, and is audited and production ready. Example: an EVM chain with ~26 million tx/month posts to Celestia for about $15,000/year versus Cosmos Hub’s ~10% inflation (~$141M/yr at current supply), enabling minute‑scale launches and cheap migration.
