Cosmos Hub – DCF / Agoric Community Spend Proposal

Governance Proposal 899 allocates an initial 4% of the Cosmos Community Pool’s ATOM to be used to generate value for the Hub. Proposal 899 passed on 16 April 2024

This proposal is to pilot an allocation of 4% of Cosmos Community Pool’s idle ATOM for liquid staking on Stride (stATOM) and Persistence (stkATOM) and use these tokens throughout the Cosmos Ecosystem to deepen liquidity while generating value for the Hub. The staked assets will be managed by a multisig, whose administrators are directed to deposit stATOM and stkATOM into Inter Protocol Vaults to mint IST and provide LP to numerous liquidity pools throughout the Cosmos ecosystem. 

30% to Osmosis IST/USDC Concentrated Liquidity pool

25% to Astroport IST/USDC.nbl pool

15% to Astrovault IST/USDC.nbl pool

15% to Shade IST/SILK pool

15% to a Quasar IST/USDC vault

We have voted YES on implementing the proposed changes. Our nodes are ready to be upgraded at the specified time.

Persistence v11.11.0 upgrade

This minor upgrade aims to fix an issue with the automatic rebalancing on the x/liquidstake module.

The upgrade occurred a short while ago on May 8th 2024 at 14:53:21 CET. Our nodes were prepped for the upgrade and upgrades to the newest binaries in a short time frame.

Archway v7.0.0 upgrade

This was a major upgrade to the Archway Network introducing 4 new modules and more.

The 4 new modules are: 

• x/callback: This new module allows smart contracts to receive callbacks at the end of a desired block.
• x/cwfees: Smart contracts can pay fees on behalf of users with unprecedented flexibility.
• x/cwica: Smart contracts register and control native accounts on other chains.
• x/cwerrors: This module informs contracts of any execution errors, crucial for those using the x/callback and x/cwica modules.

Overall this upgrade provides developers with the freedom and tools to build more efficiently and be more innovative.

We at Simply Staking voted YES on these proposed changes to allow those utilising the platform to gain access to new innovations which in turn could lead to innovations from the developers.

Osmosis IBC Rate Limit Review

The IBC Rate Limit module was introduced in v13, intended to protect assets on Osmosis in the event of security issues.

“Rate limits allow only a specified net percentage change in the quantity of an asset on Osmosis within a specified period.”

This proposal expands the covered assets on Osmosis to 84%.

The new parameters are as follows (taken direct from the proposal):

Current Denominations – AdjustmentsTo be tightened to net flows of 25% per day and 50% per week from 30% and 60%.
