The founder of Cosmos (ATOM), Jae Kwon, has decided to fork the interoperable blockchain in response to a recently passed governance proposal that caps ATOM inflation at 10%. This decision has been prompted by Proposal 848, which suggested that ATOM was overcompensating for its security, thereby reducing inflation from around 14% to 10% and decreasing staking rewards. Kwon, however, did not support this proposal, which only just managed to pass, leading him to propose a new fork named AtomOne.
Understanding the AtomOne Fork
According to Kwon, the AtomOne fork is designed to bridge the gap in the Cosmos community by providing an alternative to the existing governance structure. “The Cosmos community, at a crossroads, confronts divergent views on key aspects such as mission, tokenomics, and security philosophy. AtomOne emerges as a beacon, offering an alternative fork to navigate these waters,” says Kwon. The fork aims to:
- Handle contingencies
- Embody a stronghold for diverse political thought
- Set a new precedent for adaptive and responsive self-organization in the multichain multitoken universe known as Cosmos
Implications of the Fork
If Kwon proceeds with the fork, it is likely that an airdrop of new ATOM1 tokens would occur for various users within the community. Crypto analyst John Galt, using a pseudonym on social media platform X, suggests that “If the fork happened, it would probably result in the biggest ATOM airdrop ever. And it would resolve years of political tension – very bullish for Cosmos Hub.”
