Messari Protocol Reports for the Cosmos Hub

In the rapidly evolving Cosmos ecosystem, there is a critical need for transparent and standardized reporting to enhance decision-making, institutional adoption, and overall ecosystem understanding. To address this need, AADAO has awarded a $100,000 grant to Messari to produce quarterly reports that standardize key performance indicators (KPIs) and fundamental metrics for the Cosmos Hub.

These comprehensive reports are to include financial, network, ecosystem, and decentralization/staking metrics, along with analyses of protocol upgrades, governance, sustainability, and roadmap initiatives. The reports will be publicly available and distributed across international research platforms.

By offering detailed and institutional-grade analysis, Messari’s reports will enhance the ecosystem’s visibility and decision-making, as well as foster potential partnerships with mainstream enterprises, further advancing Cosmos’s reputation and adoption.

Overall, this grant supports a vital effort in advancing the Cosmos ecosystem’s transparency and institutional engagement, contributing to its scalable growth and development.
