Tendermint Director of Research Zaki Manian reflects on the origins of the Cosmos project, including their 2017 crowdsale and the success of their “Game of Stakes” incentivized testnet. He also provides some color on why he thinks the Cosmos ATOM token has value right now, the role it currently plays in the Cosmos ecosystem as well as the role it can play in the future. Lastly, he weighs in on the global smart contracting platform landscape, ETH 2.0, the regulatory environment that has projects looking to Asia and the latest on the Binance DEX, which is being built using the Cosmos SDK & Tendermint consensus.
