As a researcher who has closely followed the Cosmos Network and its flagship hub, I share the concerns raised by the recent outage. The incident served as a stark reminder of the complexities and risks inherent in blockchain systems, especially those that serve as foundational elements like the Cosmos Hub.
As an analyst, I’ve observed that during the latest Cosmos Hub upgrade to version 17, there was an unexpected disruption caused by a security flaw in the Liquid Staking Module. This module plays a significant role for validators within the Hub ecosystem. However, the Cosmos Hub team has communicated to their community that they’ve resolved the issue and the blockchain is now functioning normally once again, producing blocks consistently.
As a researcher, I’d like to share some insights into recent events at Informal Systems and Hypha Cosmos. Soon, we will publish an in-depth post-mortem report regarding an incident that occurred. The goal of this report is to elucidate the sequence of events during the outage and outline the solutions implemented to rectify it.

The Cosmos Hub sets itself apart as the trailblazing blockchain in the Cosmos Network. Operating on a proof-of-stake consensus system, it relies on the use of the ATOM cryptocurrency. By staking their ATOM tokens, network contributors secure them and receive compensation, which promotes network security and optimization.
The Hub, which forms the base of the Cosmos Network, is distinguished for offering specialized tools and collections of code (libraries) designed to facilitate the creation of blockchain applications.
To put it simply, despite the alarm raised by the latest interruption, Cosmos Hub’s quick response from validators and the upcoming analysis report underscore their dedication to openness, safety, and continuous enhancement.
The unplanned downtime encountered by Cosmos Hub during version 17’s upgrade, caused by a vulnerability in the Liquid Staking Module, underscores the potential risks of intricate blockchain architectures. Although Cosmos Hub has promised to rectify the situation, doubts persist regarding the network’s robustness and the effectiveness of its security measures. How will the upcoming post-mortem analysis allay these fears and secure the Hub’s longevity?
