1/ As @hxrts mentioned, 3 years ago the task at hand was no less than โSave Cosmosโ. As part of GORE 2020, I was asked to join the Board of Management of the ICF and grow a team inside of a new subsidiary called Interchain GmbH.
After the AIB meltdown @billyrennekamp & I were literally tasked with saving Cosmos, bringing the IBC network to life. Then this year we were asked to revive the Cosmos Hub. Interchain Security would enable new functionality, while the ATOM 2.0 project gave the Port City purpose.
Here comes a historical thread on the project that got me into this space: clovers.network. For those not in the know, @cloversnetwork is an NFT project that involves generative art, bonding curves, on-chain data, algorithmic rewards and a proof-of-work pig ๐ทโ๏ธ
I don't think it sets a great precedent for a decentralized protocol founder to resort to vote buying on a chain they abandonedโBUT as Cosmos Hub Product Lead, I'd like to talk about the benefits and drawbacks of Prop 69 (nice) ๐งต๐:

They need to try sending you their Kudzuโthey can use any wallet that supports NFT transfers (@opensea has a transfer function too). If you'd like me to infect you with the genesis Based Kudzu, reply to this thread with your ENS name ๐
