Cosmos Hub Unit Report - November 2025
Group 2085663659 1920×768 141 KB Background and Context The Hub Unit is composed of team members from Cosmos Labs (handling community and ecosystem growth initiatives related to the Hub) and Hypha Co-operative (handling technical operations for the Hub). These monthly reports are intended to act as a primary source of information and updates on the Hub Unit’s progress to help increase transparency between the team and the community on timelines and broader ecosystem initiative progress. If you feel anything is missing from these reports, please let us know! Update on Cosmos Hub Initiatives Cosmos Hub Technical Work (Hypha) • Tokenfactory: Hypha has begun their work on tokenfactory, and is currently proceeding with unit and integration testing of the module before deploying an upgrade to devnet for initial live testing. Current ETA for tokenfactory on the Cosmos Hub mainnet is early February. • Chain Upgrades and Maintenance: • Hypha released and successfully coordinated the v25.2.0 expedited proposal upgrade on the Cosmos Hub, which patched a minor security issue (no risk to user funds). This was the first use of the Hub’s 3-day expedited voting period…

Would it make sense to share headcount of the Cosmos Hub Unit? I imagine it can fluctuate a bit each month, but would be great to get a rough feeling.
Yeah it’s a bit nebulous tbh because there are lots of people working on the Hub that are working on other things as well, but I would put the number at around 4 that are giving the majority of their time to the Hub Unit, with several more giving some of their time 
Thanks Robo for this post.
Glad to see that you’re making progress on Tokenfactory, even though it was initially announced to be completed by the end of this year.
Regarding the tokenomics, I had hoped the work would be further along. It’s been several months that this has been under discussion, and several months as well since CL shifted its vision.
In your opinion, when can we expect something concrete regarding the tokenomics?
I’m surprised not to see any information about CL’s deals. Is that because of an NDA, or is it simply not part of the Cosmos Hub Unit?
Sorry I missed this!
On the tokenomics front, I know that this has been discussed by various folks (Mag, etc) for a few months, but work didn’t really begin in earnest until I joined the team 2 months ago, and it took me some time to get onboarded + is not the only thing we are working on.
That said, we’re locked in on this through the end of the year. I’ve already started proactively reaching out to a few research firms and will have an RFP for the community to review soon, to understand the direction this is headed.
A goal to keep in mind is that we aim to have the entire tokenomics change fully approved by the community implemented by end of Q1, so we’re working with that timeline in mind.
On the Cosmos Labs dealflow, this is not part of the Hub Unit’s scope, so we didn’t include anything in the report mentioning it.
Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated !
Good to know that the workstream is now fully in motion and that an RFP is coming soon. Transparency around the process is important.
It looks like the end of Q1 will be interesting af !
Regarding Cosmos Labs dealflow, thanks for confirming it’s outside the Hub Unit’s mandate.
Looking forward to the upcoming updates, thanks again.
Hello Hub Unit team,
Thank you for compiling and sharing this comprehensive report for November.
On behalf of Govmos and the PRO Delegator’s team, we want to commend your team for this proactive communication. Regular, detailed updates like this are an essential component of a healthy and transparent governance ecosystem. They provide the community with a clear line of sight into the progress being made on core initiatives and foster a greater sense of accountability and shared purpose.
This level of transparency allows community members to stay informed on the latest advancements and understand the context behind key development efforts. It bridges the gap between the technical work being done and the broader community of token holders who support the network.
We sincerely hope that this marks the beginning of a consistent reporting cadence. Establishing this as a regular, recurring practice would be a significant step forward in strengthening community engagement and trust. Continuous, predictable updates are the bedrock of effective collaboration.
We look forward to following your progress and seeing these reports continue in the future.
Thank you,
Govmos
Thanks for the support guys! We do plan to release these reports monthly. There’s a possibility December’s report will come late due to the holiday, but the remainder will be published shortly after month’s end!
Hey @RoboMcGobo,
Quick feedback: the monthly post is very solid and genuinely structuring the relationship between the Hub team and the community. The monthly cadence marks a real professional turning point in how Cosmos communicates. It’s necessary.
One simple suggestion looking ahead (2026 horizon):
set up a systematic read-only mirror on Medium for these monthly reports.
Key benefits:
-
reach a broader audience beyond the forum (builders, observers, investors)
-
create a clean, durable, and easily indexable archive
-
make this information reusable long-term (research, summaries, future AI use)
-
no fragmentation: one source post, one mirror
Cost / effort: negligible compared to the value created and the growing demand for clarity and transparency.
Not a new place for debate just a distribution layer.
In my view, this is a small, high-ROI upgrade that fits perfectly with this more professional posture for Cosmos.
Happy to discuss if useful.
