Cosmos Hub officially launches the ATOM token economics research program, aimed at designing a sustainable, revenue-based token economic model that reflects ATOM's core position in the Cosmos ecosystem.The research will be conducted in five phases: proposal request, research team selection, information gathering, research result analysis, and governance voting. The study will focus on a foundational model of token economics based on actual revenue, rather than jumping directly into individual mechanisms or flywheel designs.

The community will play a key role throughout the process, including participating in the selection of the research team, providing feedback, and the final on-chain voting. Cosmos Labs referred to this as potentially "one of the most important governance proposals in Cosmos history."
