<p>Lightning is one way.<p>There are some issues with capital lockup costs, so other level-2 scaling solutions are also required.  There's been more discussion of a Bitcoin bridge for Cosmos, as well as Ethereum.  Tendermint sidechains is what crypto needs.

<p>Zooko's triangle: Human-meaningful, Secure, Decentralized.<p>Tendermint provides BFT security in the likes of Bitcoin proof-of-work, except without the mining.  It allows for massively replicated public decentralized databases.  (e.g. BFT as opposed to Raft's FT).  The Tendermint algorithm guarantees that as long as less than 1/3 are malicious, the blockchain will continue to function very well.  And if there ever is a double-spend attack, we can figure out who to blame (and it will necessarily be 1/3 of bonded stakeholders).<p>The human-readable part is relatively simple.  You can easily program a name-resolution system using the Cosmos SDK.  Using the KVStore implementation there, you can commit the value of a name in the Merkle tree, and get a Merkle proof all the way up to the block-hash.  And the block-hash is signed by 2/3 of the validator-set by voting power.<p>There's more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.  Now we can really, really securely know that a name resolves to a certain IP, and know that it would be extremely expensive to attack this system.<p>NameCoin almost solved it but you need something like this to keep persistent state and provide Merkle proofs: <a href="https://github.com/tendermint/iavl" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tendermint/iavl</a> . You can with the simple Bitcoin UTXO Merkle tree, but then you can't provide fast updates or revocation easily.<p>p.s. anyone know why my parent post is getting downvoted? goes up and down, up and down ;)</p>

<p>Cosmos - "the universe seen as a well-ordered whole"<p>Given the nature of the word, I it think fits the Cosmos Network pretty well, as blockchains are mostly about consensus around ordering.  And Cosmos IBC provides a kind of partial-but-sufficient ordering around the Cosmos Hub.<p>But maybe it'll all run on a CosmosOS, and be integrated with the Cosmos react system.</p>
