Hub Weekly Update #4: June 05 2026

hub-weekly-04-landscape 1500×600 302 KB This is the fourth of the Hub Weekly Thursday recaps (Delayed by one day due to yesterday’s big announcement ), straight from the Hub Unit team, per the cadence we committed to in the From Chaos to Stability to Growth post. You can read weeks one , two , and three if you missed them. Every Thursday, we will call out significant Cosmos Hub updates on the forum, with a short companion thread on X, recapping announcements, live events like validator or community calls, and ecosystem updates! For more info, see the linked posts, and contact @RoboMcGobo on Telegram to submit news for the weekly. This week: Mintscan joins Cosmos Labs, the first complete tokenomics cohort report is live, and the Validator Call is this Monday: • Yesterday, Cosmos Labs announced the acquisition of Mintscan , the ecosystem’s primary block explorer, with select team members joining a new Korean subsidiary to expand Hub and ecosystem engineering. • Big update on the Gauntlet tokenomics workstream: a significant breakdown of ATOM sell pressure by cohort, covering January through April, was delivered today. • The Validator Call is Wednesday, June 10…

Hi @RoboMcGobo Thanks for the update! Excited to see the news about mintscan and CL expanding operations, and looking forward to any public updates regarding the gauntlet tokenomics research. On the topic of mintscan, it’s great to see a (mostly) one stop shop for the major cosmos sdk chains. Are there plans to implement more features to it or will it be mostly maintained as is? If the former, I believe there are a few things that would really help it compete with currently existing chain explorers. (Assuming these aren’t already planned / implemented) One thing that comes to mind is when looking at Injective explorer, the interface not only provides the user with the inj…xxx address, but also the associated 0x address. Currently this doesn’t seem to be shown on mintscan and would be a nice quality of life feature. Another thing is something I see on etherscan, where certain wallets can be labeled with name tags to show the entity/person that owns the wallet. Also wallets that are known to be associated with scams are also marked. It seems these features would be useful in the institutional pivot, in cases were it’s important to quickly identify / verify wallet…

Thanks the Hub Unit for these updates. Excited too about the news. Some idea you could bring to mintscan :

Atom Observatory Conversation

Context Today, the Cosmos Hub ecosystem faces a simple structural issue: information is fragmented. Data is scattered across multiple tools (explorers, dashboards, analytics), resulting in: inconsistent user experiences incomplete or hard-to-correlate data no truly consolidated, ATOM-centric view This fragmentation significantly limits: the visibility of value captured by ATOM the understanding of the Hub’s role the ability to effectively onboard users, investors, and deve…

Great question! The CLK team is still onboarding, so we can’t say for certain what Mintscan will look like until we’ve had a chance to integrate their team fully, but I do think there’s a lot of merit in these ideas.

Improving EVM exploration is likely to be pretty important moving forward, especially if we put CosmosEVM on the Hub.

On the address labeling, this is already done to an extent (with exchange addresses etc) but could be improved. Individual address labeling would probably require some kind of name service (maybe stargaze could help here).

One other idea we’ve been thinking through is adding a map-of-zones style IBC explorer into mintscan, so we can have all of that in one place.
