Value should land where the security does
ATOM pays for the Hub's security. Most of what that security protects lives somewhere else, and so does the money it makes. Closing that gap is the work.
Building what makes ATOM worth holding.
The Cosmos Hub secures an enormous amount of value and captures almost none of it. We run a validator, and we build products designed to send that value back to ATOM. Some of them run on the Hub. Some won't. All of them are for the same asset.
Why we're here
Built wherever it works best
We'll build on the Hub when the Hub is the right place, and elsewhere when it isn't: its own chain, or another one entirely. The venue changes, the point doesn't. Every product is built to make ATOM more valuable to hold.
No token. And we're not selling.
There's no ATOM Renaissance token, no raise, and nothing set aside for insiders. The commission we earn stays in ATOM and stays staked. We're not cashing it out to pay for any of this, and we won't be selling until ATOM is back where it belongs.
What we're building
Where each product actually stands today, not where we hope it will be.
vATOM
On testnetLiquid staking that never leaves the Cosmos Hub. Deposit ATOM, get a token you can hold, move and use, and keep earning staking rewards the whole time. The contract delegates on the Hub itself, so there's no bridge, no interchain account and no oracle standing between you and your stake.
- Stays on the Hub, start to finish
- Zero protocol fee, and it can't be raised
- Your balance stays put while its value grows

More on the way
There's more in the works. We'd rather hand you something that runs than a roadmap, so we'll show it when it's ready. Follow along and you'll hear about it first.
The validator
Delegating to us is the most direct way to back this. You earn the same Cosmos Hub staking rewards you'd earn with any other validator, and your stake puts weight behind a team working on making ATOM worth more than it is today.
Everything we earn in commission stays in ATOM and stays staked. We hold what you hold, so we only do well if ATOM does.
And your ATOM stays yours. Delegating isn't a transfer: redelegate or unbond whenever you like, and we can never move your stake.

Delegate
Use a wallet you already have. Rewards start at the next block. Unbonding takes 21 days, same as anywhere else on the Hub.
Staking carries real risk. Validators can be slashed for downtime or double-signing, and for the 21 days it takes to unbond, your ATOM is neither liquid nor out of reach of a slash. That holds for every validator on the Hub, this one included.
