Mate. We don't know each other, but I'm so sorry you're going through this. My mom is fighting stage 4 cancer (CUP) right now.
Stay positive. Give yourself things to look forward to. Keep your loved ones close. Let the rest of the world stop for now.

Despite everything, the Cosmos Hub validators are undoubtedly the best in all of Proof of Stake.

I've been in the lab planning with the teams. Here's our detailed Q2 roadmap for:
- ICS 2.0
- Gaia v16
- Gaia v17
- ATOM Wars
- Babylon integration
- CosmWasm on the Hub
The

team kills it.
I'm staking on 6 chains to 11 validators in this wallet. Stakecito is the only validator using the Inbox on

But bruh, should've also bought WAY more $STARS when they were worth less than $0.01.
They're still cheap. Don't fade $STARS.
There are few people in crypto that can bring energy and excitement like

Are Hydro & Forge the "value capture" mechanisms for ATOM we've been waiting for?
You already stake ATOM for more ATOM.
Hydro & Forge give stakers ADDITIONAL, DIVERSIFIED rewards for their staked ATOM.
Use your staked ATOM -> Get bags.

Our vision is to make the

the best place to launch.
Hub teams are tackling 5 common pain points:
1. Make it easy to secure a great valset and launch (more tooling OTW)
2. Access to funding (eg, AADAO venture grants)
3. Liquidity (Hydro)
4. Growth support
5.
