The set of ideas that underpin the architecture of the Cosmos ecosystem is slowly drifting away from its original concept: Hub Minimalism. the founders of the Cosmos Hub believe that the Hub should have as few features as possible, and other blockchains face significant challenges: Ether users face unaffordable gas costs, Solana users face relatively frequent downtime, and Terra users are overly dependent on the performance of a single dapp with a mostly native stablecoin. Amidst the chaos, Jae Kwon, a core contributor to Cosmos and Tendermint, has been designing a new blockchain called Gnoland with the goal of optimizing the consensus process between verifiers, the integrity of the smart contract language, and the sustainability of token economics. Gnoland was created from a Tendermint fork called New Tendermint. It also comes with Gno Lang, an interpreted golang-like language for writing Realms (smart contracts on Gno). Gnoland uses a new language called Gnolang, which is a branch of Golang. Golang has a clear advantage over other languages when it comes to handling concurrency. While most programming languages such as C++ or Java use multiple threads to run concurrent programs, Go uses Goroutines.

Gnoland is looking to adopt a dual token model similar to Cosmos' original idea, where the "cost utility" is stripped from the governance token. This is to maximize the sustainability and usability of token economics. This is just the beginning, meaning that there are still many technical and governance decisions to be made and more communication to come.
