IanGPT Summary of the Overview of Cosmos by Sam Harts

Sovereign Interoperability:
Core Concept: Cosmos focuses on "sovereign interoperability," allowing chains to operate independently while still interacting.
Separation of Concerns: Validators and users are distinct, facilitating governance and community contributions.
Third-party Verification: Enables transparency and accountability, supported by CometBFT's light client support.

Cosmos Stack Components:
CometBFT (previously Tendermint): Widely deployed, well-specified, focuses on protocol correctness. Limitations include an inefficient P2P layer.
Cosmos SDK: Highly flexible, application-specific blockchain framework. Future work focuses on performance and developer experience.
IBC: Standard messaging protocol for cross-chain interactions. Mature but complex, lacking in dev tools.
VMs: Include CosmWasm, Ethermint, and Polaris, each with different strengths and developer communities.

Cosmos’ Challenges:
Documentation: Developer resources are inconsistent.
Community Support: Difficult to find specialized help.
Upgrades: Coordinating upgrades is complex in a decentralized ecosystem.
Marketing: The ecosystem struggles with self-promotion.

Cosmos’ Strengths:
Community: Active, engaged, and ideologically aligned.
Specifications: High-quality, rigorous specs.
Resilience: No single point of failure; ecosystem would survive even even if ICF and Cosmos are "obliterated".

Stake response ^

*stake was paying some of these twitch streamers 100M, so should be easy for them to cover the 41M hole with their own money. h/t @0xngmi
