Cosmos Hub launches ATOM tokenomics research, will adopt a revenue-driven model

ChainCatcher reported that Cosmos Hub has officially launched the ATOM tokenomics research initiative, aiming to design a sustainable, revenue-based token economic model that reflects ATOM's core position within the Cosmos ecosystem.

The research will be conducted in five phases: request for proposals, research team selection, information gathering, analysis of research results, and governance voting. The study will focus on foundational models of tokenomics based on actual revenue, rather than jumping directly into individual mechanisms or flywheel designs. Cosmos Labs stated that this model will break away from the limitations of circular token economic systems, driving ATOM's long-term growth through sustainable revenue generated by enterprise adoption of the Cosmos technology stack. The community will play a key role throughout the process, including participating in the selection of research teams, providing feedback, and ultimately voting on-chain. Cosmos Labs described this as possibly "one of the most important governance proposals in Cosmos history."
