As another incredible year passed, innovation in the Cosmos ecosystem exploded. But launching the IBC and completing the Cosmos white paper is not the end of the story, we have only just begun this amazing journey, with so many exciting plans coming up and a ton of development already in the pipeline for 2022. 2021 is the year IBC enters the market, with major Cosmos chains forming a thriving interconnected economy, and by 2022, thanks to Cosmos' robust technology stack and developer-friendly blockchain frameworks such as with IBC interoperability Starport), the adoption of IBC will be truly remarkable. As the Tendermint CEO told CryptoSlate, “I think we will easily see 200 chains connected via IBC by this time next year, or even a million chains in the long run.” We will also see work done by various different teams using IBC to connect Cosmos to their ecosystems. In 2022, that means secure connections to Bitcoin, Celo, Polkadot, Kusama, Harmony, Hyperledger Besu, Hyperledger Fabric, and more. The free flow of assets between these major blockchains will create huge opportunities for scalability and growth - and ultimately, a DeFi level playing field with low fees, high throughput and a large selection of products. In addition to the fast-growing DeFi space, 2021 is also the year of NFTs as interest in digital artwork, digital collectibles, and immutable digital proof of ownership surges. With so much mainstream interest in NFTs, it looks like their popularity will continue in 2022. Lastly, don’t miss out on the plethora of amazing airdrops coming up in 2022. Some of the most innovative projects in the Cosmos ecosystem will go into production next year, covering everything from NFTs to decentralized social media to DeFi to gaming. Keep an eye out for airdrops from Evmos, Umee, Gravity Bridge, LikeCoin, Game, Stargaze, BitSong, and Cyber, and be sure to stake your ATOM with a Cosmos validator to qualify.
