Interchain Foundation Funds Tharsis Labs to publish evmOS open-source, Strengthening Ethereum-Cosmos Support and Interoperability

 to continue its development as part of the Interchain Stack, through the Interchain Labs (ICL) team. This specifically pertains to the 'OS' repository. Other Evmos-related libraries and the Evmos blockchain itself remain independent and are not included in this initiative.

  on Ethereum interoperability, modular blockchain architecture, and its roadmap within the long-term vision of the Cosmos ecosystem.

, said Federico Kunze Küllmer, representing Tharsis Labs .

Under its new open source provenance, the ICF will integrate Cosmos EVM, the fork of evmOS, further into Cosmos' Interchain Stack, enhancing its role as the canonical EVM solution for Cosmos chains. Additionally, the ICF and its subsidiary, Interchain Labs, will become the main steward and contributor of the software, ensuring its ongoing development and integration within the broader Cosmos ecosystem. The acquisition aligns with ICF's broader mission of fostering permissionless innovation, seamless cross-chain communication, and building the best platform and tools for world-scale application builders

. This will provide developers with greater freedom to contribute, modify, and deploy Cosmos EVM in a wide range of applications, fostering a more inclusive and decentralized development ecosystem.

The evmOS roadmap, now Cosmos EVM, remains committed to its core objectives of enhancing the EVM ecosystem and providing seamless Ethereum compatibility within the Cosmos network. ICF and ICL will work closely with the evmOS projects to ensure a smooth transition in the upcoming network upgrades.

 The Interchain Foundation (ICF) is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing open-source, decentralized blockchain infrastructure. As the steward of the Cosmos ecosystem and IBC, ICF funds research, development, and community initiatives to drive the future of the interchain economy.

The Interchain Labs team is the ICF's main subsidiary, in charge of engineering, product, marketing and growth for the Interchain Stack, Cosmos Hub, and its ecosystem.

Evmos is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to bring EVM-based smart contract functionality to the Cosmos ecosystem. With built-in support for IBC, evmOS enables seamless cross-chain communication, empowering developers to build highly composable decentralized applications across multiple ecosystems.
