Cosmos Community Erupts as Validator Accuses Cosmos Labs

In the Cosmos ecosystem, there is new criticism following an indictment of POSTHUMAN ∞ DVS, a well-known validator, publicly stating that Cosmos Labs had centralized power, damaged developer trust, and added to the already damaged reputation of ATOM. These allegations, which were exaggerated on X and became widely spread by 吴说区块链 (Wu Blockchain) on November 20 have sparked a debate about the wildest way to govern the ecosystem and the allocation of power and the future course of Cosmos.

POSTHUMAN suggests that the Labs is not the larger community of Cosmos, highlighting that its on-chain voting is less than Cosmostation as well as the Interchain Foundation (ICF). Nevertheless, the validator claims that Cosmos Labs discusses and makes choices as though it was the authoritative point of view of the ecosystem.

Cosmos Policies and Project Exodus

As stated in the POSTHUMAN thread in detail, a number of choices that Cosmos Labs has made have caused projects and developers to leave the ecosystem. They contain the suspension of the long-awaited EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) integration, the halt of Interchain Security (ISC) payments, and the promotion of a controversial philosophy of the survival of the fittest that goes against the long-established culture of collaboration at Cosmos.

According to the validator, such policies have led to significant project exits and to the loss of the external trust in the stability of the network. POSTHUMAN also asserts that Cosmos Labs has moved to focus on development of the institutions on the basis of private chain implementation- a model that is of little value to ATOM holders or the ecosystem.

Social Response Eclipses Universal Concern

The thread became better known as a result of Wu Blockchain coverage, with X reacting highly to it. Several such validators, developers, and long-term members of the Cosmos community share the views of POSTHUMAN and state that Cosmos Labs actions have led to fragmentation, lack of cooperation, and a swift devaluation of ATOM. There have been complaints by some users that the governance upheavals and changes in funding priorities have only aggravated the already strained performance of ATOM.

Pressure to Reform Community-led

The message of POSTHUMAN eventually recommends coming back to community-based leadership, whereby builders and validators can align their efforts on a common revival strategy that would not rely upon the direction that Cosmos Labs is going. The proponent of the Cosmos upholds that Cosmos is redeemable. Only when the eco-system is not over-centralize and adopts open and cooperative governance.

With the debate still going on, there is an increasing pressure to see a response on the part of Cosmos Labs or the ICF. The scandal is among the most momentous governance crises that Cosmos has experienced over the last several years, and one that can possibly alter its development paradigm in the future.
