ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the Interchain Foundation (ICF) has funded the open-source Evmos (EVMOS -32.90%), which is the native EVM framework of its multi-chain ecosystem that includes over 200 application chains.The foundation stated that this framework was previously developed under the Evmos project and will now be maintained as "Cosmos EVM" within the official cross-chain software stack, including the Cosmos SDK, which means the Cosmos ecosystem now has a standardized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) version.This development enables the Cosmos blockchain to integrate Cosmos EVM for full EVM compatibility, including support for JSON-RPC and Ethereum wallet compatibility through lightweight EVM configurations for native ERC-20 tokens. The integration enhances cross-chain interoperability between the broader EVM ecosystem and Cosmos through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.As part of this transition, Evmos co-founder Federico Kunze Küllmer will no longer serve as a core contributor to Evmos, while continuing to advise the ICF on the interoperability and modular architecture of Cosmos EVM, Evmos noted. Kunze Küllmer's company, Altiplanic, is a core contributor to the Evmos codebase and will no longer participate in the project.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, a Web3 security researcher earned a $150,000 bounty by reading the Cosmos network documentation and discovering a serious vulnerability that could cause the Evmos blockchain and all decentralized applications (DApps) built on it to stop functioning.In a blog post published on October 28, the security researcher "jayjonah.eth" explained the concept of "module accounts" encountered in the Cosmos documentation, stating: "If these addresses (module accounts) receive funds outside the expected rules of the state machine, invariants may be violated, potentially leading to a network halt." Based on the Cosmos documentation, the Evmos blockchain was subjected to crash testing, where the security researcher attempted to send funds to the module accounts in a testing environment to test this theory, reporting: "At this point, no blocks are being generated anymore, and the blockchain has completely stopped. This would compromise the Evmos blockchain and all DApps built on it." He revealed that the Evmos team had already fixed the vulnerability before the information was made public.

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Ripple has collaborated with Evmos to develop the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain, which will be built using evmOS technology. evmOS is a modular and customizable technology stack provided by Evmos, leveraging Cosmos SDK, IBC, and CometBFT to bring EVM compatibility to Web3 enterprises.

ChainCatcher news, the Cosmos ecosystem EVM-compatible chain Evmos has officially launched the dApp store Evmos dApp Store on social media platforms.

ChainCatcher message, Evmos CEO Federico stated on social media that the EVMOS burn proposal was approved by a majority. During the upcoming Evmos software upgrade this Thursday, 136 million EVMOS will be burned. Starting from that day, all fees for Cosmos transactions will also be burned.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Evmos developer Altiplanic is developing a mechanism that allows Cosmos tokens to be used as ERC-20 tokens on the Evmos blockchain. The planned release will provide Evmos developers with a unified token model applicable to both native tokens and ERC-20 tokens.Essentially, this integration will enable Cosmos tokens (which are not compatible with the ERC-20 standard) to be used directly in dapps on the Evmos EVM. The mainnet version of the mechanism is expected to be released by the end of this year.

ChainCatcher message, the Cosmos ecosystem's EVM-compatible chain Evmos plans to stop supporting Cosmos transactions and instead focus on Ethereum-based transactions. The Evmos core network will only support Ethereum-based wallets and tools. The transition to a single transaction format is expected to simplify the development workflow and improve the efficiency of Ethereum wallets on the network. Evmos announced a phased cessation of Cosmos transactions, aiming for full completion by the third quarter of 2024.In addition, Evmos will maintain core functionalities of Cosmos, such as staking and token transfers via EVM extensions, ensuring users and developers have access to these features.

ChainCatcher news, Cosmos ecosystem EVM-compatible chain Evmos tweeted that thanks to Evmos's EVM extension, Safe's multisignature is now also available for the Cosmos ecosystem. The EVM extension allows Evmos users to utilize Safe Multisig (formerly known as Gnosis Safe) and other familiar Ethereum tools.Previously, Safe's multisignature was limited to Ethereum and EVM.

ChainCatcher news, the Cosmos ecosystem EVM-compatible chain Evmos announced on its official Twitter that its version 2.0 has officially launched. It is reported that the updates in this version include enabling StakeFi and IBC composability through the Evmos EVM extension, incentivizing sustainable growth of the Evmos v2 token economics, and creating value consistency with future Evmos SDK chains through software licensing, among others.

ChainCatcher news, Cosmos ecosystem EVM-compatible chain Evmos tweeted that it will launch Evmos 2.0 on August 2. Evmos 2.0 is not just a rebranding, but a significant update.The updates in this version include enabling StakeFi and IBC composability through the Evmos EVM extension, Evmos v2 token economics, and creating value consistency with future Evmos SDK chains through software licensing.

ChainCatcher news, Cosmos ecosystem EVM-compatible chain Evmos tweeted that it has learned that the former co-founder has been trying to sell 500,000 EVMOS tokens on Osmosis. The address holds 34 million EVMOS and has staked 11.5 million EVMOS. The initial lock-up period for the tokens at this address is one year, with a linear release over four years.Evmos stated that the former co-founder made substantial contributions to the project and left due to differences on certain issues. Currently, Evmos is working with him to return the tokens to the Evmos Foundation.According to the crypto data platform RootData, Evmos announced last November that it had completed a $27 million financing round, led by Polychain, with participation from institutions such as Coinbase Ventures.

ChainCatcher news, the Cosmos ecosystem's EVM-compatible chain Evmos published "The Evmos Manifesto," proposing a roadmap for 2023, which includes three key components: EVM expansion, Evmos SDK, and dApp store.Among them, the EVM expansion will allow developers to connect to other smart contracts and application chains within the Cosmos ecosystem and enable smart contract calls to the IBC module for communication with other chains, sending, and receiving assets; the Evmos SDK will allow blockchain developers to create application-specific chains or EVM chains tailored to specific use cases, making it easier to customize and launch new EVM chains; the dApp store aims to serve as a one-stop access point for discovering and utilizing unique Web3 applications built on Evmos.
