Cosmos Labs has acquired the Mintscan product suite and launched Cosmos Labs Korea Co., Ltd. (CLK), a new Seoul-based subsidiary that will steward several of the ecosystem’s most important infrastructure services, according to a Thursday statement.
The move brings Skip:Go, IBC Eureka, Mintscan, and the Cosmos Hub under a single operational umbrella, and is expected to strengthen the foundation that supports Cosmos ecosystem development and ATOM.
Cosmos pioneered sovereign, interoperable proof-of-stake chains years before “modular” became a buzzword.
The Cosmos SDK and Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) became foundational tooling for Cosmos-native chains and for major projects like Celestia, dYdX, and Injective that built on its architecture. The ecosystem now powers over 150 blockchains on its stack.
“The team joining us today has been building in Cosmos for eight years and shares our conviction about where the ecosystem can go from here,” Barry Plunkett, co-CEO of Cosmos Labs, said in a statemen. “We are excited to welcome them and to take on the opportunity to accelerate Cosmos’ roadmap together.”
