Dubai — From October 21 to 27, 2024, Cosmoverse 2024 took place in Dubai, attracting global leaders, entrepreneurs, developers, and investors to discuss the future of blockchain technology. With the theme of “Interchain and Web3 Innovation,” the event aimed to showcase the latest developments in the Cosmos-SDK ecosystem and promote broader multichain collaboration.

As a leading global interchain conference, Cosmoverse has been successfully held in Lisbon, Medellín, and Istanbul since its inception in 2021, gradually becoming one of the most influential gatherings in the crypto industry. This year’s choice of Dubai as the venue leverages the region’s significant role in the global development of blockchain technology. The UAE has emerged as a prominent hub for blockchain entrepreneurs and developers, making it an ideal location for such an event.

Highlights: Hackmos、Multichain Collaboration and Industry Integration

Cosmoverse 2024 attracted over 2,000 attendees, including core team members from renowned projects such as Ripple, Cardano, and Polygon, as well as notable figures from the Bitcoin ecosystem. Additionally, industry giants like Emirates and Telekom joined the event, creating unprecedented collaboration opportunities between the crypto industry and traditional sectors.

The conference featured multiple dedicated tracks, covering topics like AI, RWAs Tokenization, DePINs, Gaming, and NFTs. Each track included presentations, workshops, and discussions that covered the latest advancements in blockchain technology, with a particular focus on Cosmos’ innovations in multichain collaboration and interoperability.

One of the main highlights of Cosmoverse 2024 is Hackmos, a hackathon expected to be one of the largest in Dubai this year. Over 200 top-tier developers from around the world are joining, making Hackmos a hub for new blockchain ideas and solutions.

Cosmoverse laid the groundwork for Hackmos through its Cosmos India Tour, which visited four cities to connect and recruit talented developers. Now, these developers, along with many others from local universities (such as students from the University of Sharjah), will come together at Hackmos to tackle real-world blockchain challenges in an environment designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

The Cosmos Ventures VC Track and the exclusive executive lounge were other major highlights. Startups had the opportunity to present their ideas to top investment firms, while the executive lounge provided a VIP networking space for executives, investors, market makers, and validators to discuss potential collaborations and the future direction of the industry.

Hackmos: A Hotbed for Solving Real-World Blockchain Challenges

As an integral part of Cosmoverse 2024, Hackmos attracted over 200 top developers from around the world, making it one of Dubai’s largest hackathons this year. Participants worked together to explore how blockchain technology can address real-world problems, fostering a spirit of creativity and collaboration that will inject new vitality into the industry.

In addition, the conference hosted several side events, including dYdX Day and Bitcoin Day, enhancing the overall experience by delving deeper into specific areas of blockchain technology.

Reinforcing Interchain Security: New Breakthroughs in the Cosmos Ecosystem

During Cosmoverse 2024, Cosmos introduced its latest model for interchain security — Partial Set Security — enhancing security measures for interconnected chains. The Replicated Security model of Cosmos Hub also achieved significant breakthroughs, with the Total Value Locked (TVL) for chains like Neutron and Stride continuing to grow steadily each quarter. These innovations have laid a solid foundation for further expansion of the Cosmos ecosystem.

A Global Vision: The Future of Multichain Collaboration

The conference not only provided a platform for global Cosmos enthusiasts and developers to communicate but also reinforced the collaboration between Cosmos and other blockchain ecosystems. Cosmoverse 2024 Co-Founder Juri Maibaum stated, “The UAE is rapidly becoming one of the most dynamic crypto innovation centers in the world. We want to leverage the region’s relentless pursuit of cutting-edge technology to showcase the growth and potential of the Interchain ecosystem, and create more use cases for connecting independent chains in the future”.

The success of Cosmoverse 2024 highlighted the latest achievements in cross-chain security, interoperability, and ecosystem expansion within the Cosmos ecosystem. By introducing themes like AI, DePINs, and RWAs Tokenization, the conference elevated its overall stature and industry impact. In the future, Cosmoverse will continue to drive cross-chain ecosystem development and integration, building a global bridge for blockchain collaboration and injecting new momentum into the development of blockchain technology.
