Cosmos Hub Initiates ATOM Token Economics Research Program

According to ChainCatcher, Cosmos Hub has officially launched a research program focused on the economics of the ATOM token. The initiative aims to design a sustainable, revenue-based token economic model that underscores ATOM's central role within the Cosmos ecosystem. The research will unfold in five stages: proposal requests, selection of research teams, information gathering, analysis of research findings, and governance voting. The study will concentrate on foundational models of token economics based on actual revenue, rather than delving directly into specific mechanisms or flywheel designs. Cosmos Labs has stated that this model will move away from the limitations of circular token economic systems, instead driving ATOM's long-term growth through sustainable revenue generated by enterprise adoption of the Cosmos technology stack. The community is expected to play a crucial role throughout the process, including participating in the selection of research teams, providing feedback, and engaging in the final on-chain voting. Cosmos Labs has described this initiative as potentially one of the most significant governance proposals in the history of Cosmos.
