Cosmos Hub launches ATOM token economics research, adopting a revenue-driven model

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. Cosmos Labs stated that this model will break free from the limitations of circular token economic systems, driving the long-term growth of ATOM through sustainable revenue generated by enterprise adoption of the Cosmos tech stack. 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."
