Interchain Foundation (ICF) of Cosmos has funded the open source of Evmos (EVMOS -32.90%), which is the native EVM framework of its multi-chain ecosystem with over 200 application chains. The foundation stated that this framework was previously developed under the Evmos project and will now be maintained as "Cosmos EVM" in the official cross-chain software stack, including Cosmos SDK, which means that the Cosmos ecosystem now has a standardized version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This development enables the Cosmos blockchain to integrate Cosmos EVM for full EVM compatibility, including support for JSON-RPC and Ethereum wallet compatibility through lightweight EVM configuration, for native ERC-20 tokens. This integration strengthens the cross-chain interoperability between the wider EVM ecosystem and Cosmos through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
