The Cosmos ecosystem saw a rough patch this year. Word is, a bunch of projects called it quits—Comdex, Kujira, Evmos, Picasso/Compostable, Quasar/Tower, and Stride all pulled the plug. These weren't small fish either, covering everything from DEX platforms to DeFi protocols, NFT ventures, lending services, and liquid staking tokens. The common thread? Stagnant growth and dried-up revenue streams. Seems like the bear market didn't spare anyone, even projects with solid infrastructure couldn't sustain operations without user traction and cashflow.
