Cosmos has announced a strategic update halting the planned launch of an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) platform on the Cosmos Hub. The organization will utilize this pause to reevaluate and enhance its EVM Layer 1 stack infrastructure.
The reassessment aims to strengthen developer capabilities for deploying customized EVM-compatible chains within the Cosmos ecosystem. Simultaneously, Cosmos is prioritizing deeper integration of the Hub with the broader Interchain network, while maintaining support for existing EVM-enabled chains across its ecosystem.
