Cosmos released Ledger Security 2026.1, bringing the first native post-quantum secure key option to the Cosmos stack. Security Operations Lead Alex Johnson discusses the post-quantum security work for the Cosmos stack and how that work delivers long-term benefits to businesses, technology operators, and engineers who use Cosmos.
New release: Post-Quantum Ledger Security 2026.1. The first native post-quantum secure key option for the Cosmos stack. A Cosmos-based ledger can now move to a quantum-resistant architecture, as defined today. cosmos.bz/4jFfcSE

We recommend that if you run a public chain that uses a Cosmos EVM version less than v0.6.2 and v0.7.2, you should immediately halt the blockchain and upgrade it to include the patches in those releases. If you use Cosmos EVM and have not yet provided us with your security team's contact details, please contact [email protected] to receive critical updates.

I am beyond excited to see @WellsFargo announce its @cosmos blockchain, enabling tokenized deposits for corporate clients! Wells Fargo's blockchain is built on Cosmos, leveraging our superior interoperability, programmability, and reliability. wsj.com/finance/banking/well…

JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Mastercard, Bank of Thailand, Standard Chartered, Revolut, and more, were all in Bangkok for Money20/20 Asia. And our team was in the room. Here's the read on what institutional decision-makers are talking about: cosmos.network/blog/money202…

1) For on-chain teams, this hits harder than most people realize. Let’s talk about why. 🧵👇 xitter.cf/cz_binance/status/2023…
(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption. Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). 🤷‍♂️

6) And privacy isn’t the only problem. Treasury teams operating multichain today deal with: - Separate multisigs per chain - Repeated transaction signing - Constant network switching - Fragmented interfaces More chains = more operational risk.

For on-chain finance to scale, we need: - Private operational flows - Cross-chain simplicity - Enterprise-grade security Institutions won’t operate where everything is exposed.

Our vision is, over the next decade, every major company will have their own, interconnected blockchain. That vision requires four things to be true: performant ledgers, neutral connectivity, programmable privacy, and network autonomy. The 2026 Cosmos Stack roadmap delivers on all of them, and doubles down on Cosmos' core strength. First, 5,000 TPS sustained in production. That's 10x what SWIFT processes today, on par with Mastercard, on every single chain. We are taking the most battle-tested consensus in crypto, and making it the obvious choice for finance. Second, Proof-Of-Authority. This lets institutions control their own networks and stay compliant. Additionally, IBC is expanding to Solana, EVMs, and any ledger. We are building privacy that works across counterparties without breaking compliance. Right now, the use cases reshaping finance are stablecoins, tokenization, cross-border payments, and banks and institutions are choosing to build their own ledgers to accomplish them. Why? Compliance, performance, interoperability, control, customization and optimization. We used to see small pilots on Hyperledger, or institutions tokenizing a fraction of their assets across a couple chains. That's changing. Banks are building production-scale blockchains, and what Cosmos can solve is the network effect between them. One bank on a chain is a pilot. Ten banks connected to each other is a new market.A new payments network. A new financial infrastructure. The amount of friction this solves is unmeasurable. If not, look at @Figure, @OndoFinance, and @circle - exporting services to banks and chains globally. The goal: make Cosmos the default over Hyperledger, smart contracts, or any third-party chain by making the best solution, even better. 2026: Cosmos.
The 2026 Cosmos Stack Roadmap is live. Faster. Hyperconnected. Enterprise-ready. Let's dive in: xitter.cf/cosmoslabs_io/status/2…

Any estimated timeline for this?
Was great meeting you! Soon, IBC will connect to Solana ✈️
