Anoma’s Christopher Goes warns the Cosmos ecosystem is nearing collapse as projects like Penumbra, Osmosis and Noble shut down, enter maintenance or exit entirely.

Summary
  • Anoma co-founder Christopher Goes says the Cosmos (ATOM) ecosystem is in serious decline and “nearing its end,” with user and market interest at historic lows.​
  • Projects like Penumbra have shut down, while Osmosis moved into maintenance mode and Noble prepares to withdraw from Cosmos and focus on other ecosystems.​
  • Goes cites high operating costs, specialized infrastructure and capital concentration on a few assets as reasons for shrinking sustainability and fading innovation in Cosmos.

Christopher Goes, co-founder of Coinbase-listed cryptocurrency Anoma (XAN), said the Cosmos (ATOM) ecosystem is experiencing a serious decline and nearing its end, according to statements reported by Bitcoin Sistemi.

Anoma co-founder says Cosmos ecosystem in decline

Goes stated that numerous projects within the Cosmos ecosystem have recently ceased operations or significantly reduced their scale. Several projects have shut down completely, while others have entered maintenance mode and redirected resources to alternative ecosystems, according to the report.

The statement cited specific examples including Penumbra ceasing operations, Osmosis entering maintenance mode while shifting resources elsewhere, and Noble in the process of withdrawing from the Cosmos ecosystem.

Goes indicated that user and market interest in the ecosystem has reached historically low levels, creating sustainability challenges for projects with high operational costs and specialized technology infrastructures, the report said.

The concentration of capital on specific assets and the removal of the ecosystem from priority lists contributes to uncertainty regarding Cosmos’s future, according to Goes’s assessment.

Anoma is listed on Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States. The Cosmos network uses blockchain technology designed to enable interoperability between different blockchain systems.

Read More: Trump-Backed Crypto Firm Eyes Asia for Bold Bitcoin Expansion Nasdaq Debut: An Explosive First Day ABTC’s first day of trading proved as dramatic as expected.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.
