3 reasons why Cosmos (ATOM) price is near a new all-time high
Three reasons for the surging price of ATOM include the launch of a cross-chain bridge which makes the protocol Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible and an upcoming Theta upgrade which will rapidly expand the ecosystem of connected chains and applications.Cosmos nears EVM compatibility The most significant development that has provided a boost to ATOM is the rollout of Evmos, an EVM-compatible protocol that will allows assets and projects that operate on the Ethereum (ETH) network to migrate over to the Cosmos ecosystem. @EvmosOrg is an application-agnostic @cosmos chain ⚛️@EvmosOrg will be interoperable with @Ethereum, EVM-compatible environments, and other chains via IBC, making it easy to move value across chains ⛓ Learn about @EvmosOrg network architecture https://t.co/VfDiYxVkte pic.twitter.com/20iMai6B3Z— Figment (@Figment_io) December 7, 2021 Up to this point, there had not been a way for Ethereum-based projects to interact with the Cosmos ecosystem. This significantly limited the number of projects and tokens that could interact with DeFi and NFT projects in the Cosmos ecosystem. Gravity Bridge, which launched on Dec. 15, is another project dedicated to facilitating the bridging of assets between Ethereum and Cosmos and currently it operates as a standalone chain. Plans to migrate to the Cosmos Hub in early 2022 are currently underway.Preparing for
