Noble Protocol ends Cosmos appchain, to relaunch as EVM-based layer 1
Stablecoin-focused Noble Protocol will end its Cosmos SDK-based appchain and transition to an independent EVM-based layer 1 blockchain, The Block reported on Jan. 20. Noble plans to expand infrastructure for stablecoins and foreign exchange trading through the new EVM chain. Founder Jelena Djuric said Cosmos was a good starting point but it is time to move to EVM, while keeping short-term support for the existing Cosmos chain.
