Still, the central chain Cosmos Hub and its ATOM token serve a minimal role.In the face of this identity crisis, its latest update is about to change all that.The Cosmos team released a new white paper during its Cosmoverse Conference in Medellin, Columbia, which updates the utility of Comos Hub and its token ATOM. Until now, the ATOM token encompassed little utility other than speculation.The new white paper and the subsequent update will pivot the Cosmos Hub into a blockchain security role, where any interchain on the network can lean on Cosmos’ abundance of validators to increase security on their native interchain, minimizing their security efforts. This Medium article presents the new security updates, dubbed Interchain Security.Moreover, the Cosmos devs look to upgrade an outdated validator staking model to include liquid staking, increasing liquidity on all the interchains and improving incentives to own ATOM. Ultimately the incentives will likely increase demand for ATOM. Did I mention there’s an upgrade issuance model too?Helix Mirza @ Cosmoverse 🧬🥷 on Twitter: "The new $ATOM 2.0 issuance model is going to melt faces.TLDR: Less $ATOM issuance. Less supply.
