Sovereign EVM Day ☀️ - by Cosmos & Interop
A sunny terrace, a hearty brunch, and a bunch of teams pushing the boundaries of EVM and Cosmos together.
Welcome to the Sovereign Series — where Cosmos brings ecosystems together to show that the true potential of web3 is at the intersection of all chains:
The internet didn’t win with silos — it won with tech that could link up and build on each other.
Blockchains were never designed to be closed. They are built to be interoperable, composable, and open.
That's the Internet of Blockchains — and it’s happening now.
Come meet the teams pushing the boundaries of EVM, and bringing new applications to Ethereum with Cosmos' Stack and interoperability (IBC) — allowing hundreds of chains and apps to work together.

Cosmos x EVM: What happens when Ethereum meets the Cosmos Stack?
You get EVM, supercharged. Think truly decentralized EVM L1s, customizable beyond EVM's limits. Think of Ethereum and EVM apps connecting to 100s of chains natively, thanks to IBC. Think of a new multichain world that wasn’t possible on EVM alone.
Think of the Babylon's, Cronos, dYdX, and Ondo Finance's of the world, blurring the lines between ETH, BTC, Cosmos...
Better together, Meet Our Guests ⚛️ Ξ
