The ATOM halving proposal that suggests slashing the token’s inflation by 50% and ensuring long-term profitability for holders, received support from the community. The proposal was passed with the support of 41.1% votes. Cosmos founder Jae Kwon likely voted against the proposal and it passed either way.
Kwon shared his views in a recent tweet on the social media platform X.
The Cosmos founder unveiled his plan to coordinate a split and invited comments and feedback from ATOM holders that voted against the proposal. Kwon asked users to write their feedback in the form of issues that the founder plans to tackle in his new chain, with a token ATOM1.
The plan involves a fork of the Cosmos Hub and organizing the minority that was against the ATOM halving proposal. Kwon makes it clear that he does not wish to collapse ATOM or Cosmos Hub and suggests integrating ATOM and allowing participation in the new chain.
DeFi educator, John Galt, believes that a split in Cosmos Hub could result in the biggest airdrop in the ecosystem. At the time of writing, ATOM price is $9.629, with nearly 3% drop in the past 24 hours. ATOM price yielded 2.80% weekly gains for holders.
