Recently, Cosmos has made frequent moves. First, the derivatives giant dYdX announced to migrate from Ethereum to Cosmos, and then the pre-version of Interchain security v0.1 (interchain security), which allows Cosmos Hub to share security with other blockchains, was launched. In addition, Delphi recently issued a document stating that it will focus its research and development on the Cosmos ecosystem. All kinds of good news have allowed the Cosmos ecosystem to gain a lot of attention in a short period of time.
At present, there are 262 projects in the Cosmos ecosystem. Since the end of last year, some projects have started airdrop routes. Through Dapp interaction, token pledge, etc., users can get considerable airdrop rewards.
On September 26th, Cosmos will hold the Cosmoverse Conference, at which information about Atom 2.0 will be announced, which may include the redesign of ATOM token economics, more functions of Cosmos Hub, etc.

Evmos Domains
Evmos Domains is the domain name service of the Cosmos ecosystem. Users can register ".evmos" domain names on its official website, and due to the hierarchical nature of Evmos domains, anyone with any level of domain name can configure subdomains for themselves or others as needed. For example, if Alice owns "alice.evmos", she can create "pay.alice.evmos" and configure it as she wishes.
At present, the Evmos Domains main network has been launched, and users can register their favorite domain names. Evmos Domains also announced an airdrop plan for the token EVD. The airdrop snapshot time is expected to be on September 28th. 40% will be given to Evmos Domains holders, 10% will be given to testnet users, contributors and Discord members,secondary titlehttps://twitter.com/EvmosDomains/status/1568342636842319878
StakeEasy
StakeEasy is a liquid staking protocol with one or more staked derivative tokens. Pledge derivatives are essentially a representation of the amount of assets pledged by protocol users. This staking derivative has a specific way of distributing staking rewards to end users, so it is different in terms of mechanics. Three of the most popular models are briefly described below:
Rebasing token: This token increases the number of tokens in a user's wallet as staking rewards accumulate.
Increasing-peg token: As staking rewards accumulate, this token increases the amount of unstaked assets that can be redeemed and automatically combines the rewards.
Manual reward tokens: These tokens are always pegged 1:1 to unstaked tokens. Users holding this token can manually claim their staking rewards at any time.
Currently, users can stake SCRT tokens and JUNO tokens on StakeEasy in exchange for liquid token rewards.

Quicksilver
Quicksilver is a cross-chain liquidity staking protocol for the Cosmos ecosystem. Through cross-chain accounts and Liquid Staking modules, Quicksilver can quickly and seamlessly join any Cosmos-SDK-based area in a permissionless manner. And Quicksilver is controlled by its token holders, all decisions about joining new regions, assigning incentives and controlling parameters are made by the community. Quicksilver will support staking on any region of the Cosmos SDK after a community vote. Users staking in these areas can switch to the liquid staking model without unbonding their assets.
At present, Quicksilver has announced the airdrop plan, with a total of 102.7 million token rewards. The first airdrop will be sent to eligible Cosmos Hub, Juno Networkand Osmosis stakers,Snapshot time to be determined. 5% of the tokens will be unlocked immediately, and the rest will require users to complete tasks to unlock:
- Stake QCK tokens: unlock 10%
- Signal intent on the protocol (the operation of the user assigning a verification node): unlock 5%
- Liquid pledged assets on the protocol: 52.5% unlocked
- Participate in Quicksilver on-chain governance: unlock 10%

DeFund
DeFund is a blockchain for building multi-chain, decentralized ETFs. DeFund allows for the creation of decentralized exchange-traded funds (called dETFs) with underlying assets sourced from dozens of blockchains (and growing fast).
After joining Cosmos, DeFund can use IBC to aggregate liquidity from decentralized exchanges within the IBC ecosystem, so that any token in the Cosmos ecosystem can be accessed through the DeFund protocol, including ERC20 tokens, Fragmented NFT based on Ethereum, etc. In addition, DeFund also utilizes Cosmos Interchain Account (ICA) to build price data and keep ETF price stable without moving or locking assets in the liquidity pool.
DeFund is currently in the testnet stage. In order to motivate testnet users, DeFund has released a plan to airdrop the token DETF. The snapshot date is to be determined.
- 5% to testnet validators
- 10% to private testnet participants
- 15% to public testnet participants
- 40% to stakers of ATOM, OSMO and AKT
- 30% to DETF liquidity providers

Void Protocol
Void Protocol is Cosmos IBC's financial privacy solution. Void Protocol proposes a three-step model:
Deposit: First deposit funds into the Void anonymous pool, and the user will get a phrase for later withdrawal. There is a fixed scale for deposits (OSMO: 100 1,000 10,000 ATOM: 10 100 1,000 USDC: 100 1,000 10,000), which contributes to the consistency of the deposit scale in the pool and greatly reduces the risk of funds being tracked.
Mix + Earn: After deposits are made, they are pooled in one smart contract. Since all deposits are of the same amount, it is difficult to determine the source wallet of the funds. The longer a transaction remains in the pool, the harder it is to track.
In addition, Void Protocol will also incentivize all deposits in the pool, which will further incentivize funds to be deposited and withdrawn in the pool for a longer period of time. All mining pools will be rewarded with a portion of reserved VOID tokens.
Withdraw: Withdraw funds with the phrase saved in the first step. Upon withdrawal, a 0.5% base fee will be paid to Gov DAO stakers.
Void Protocol plans to use 10% of VOID tokens for airdrops. Of this, 5% will go to OSMO stakers and the other 5% will go to various Osmosis liquidity providers.
