Our vision revolves around keeping the hub sleek and focused, facilitating economic coordination and engaging in political discourse on core themes. We propose setting up an Interchain Business Development (BD) structure led by savvy governors, each equipped to forge partnerships with key chains in the Cosmos ecosystem. These governors would act as business finders, potentially earning intermediary fees for their services. Additionally, we suggest a model where governors receive a base salary through delegation via the Stride Governor delegation program, aiming to cultivate a highly skilled political class within Cosmos actively fostering interchain business partnerships, rather than waiting passively for projects.
Moreover, our vision includes creating a technical BD layer operated by validators, expected to specialize and naturally form sub-groups. This concept was introduced over a year ago in a post: Ideation: Governance Councils & Treasury Modules. In this context, we discussed the formation of “validator councils” that would leverage Interchain Security V3, as detailed in this report (the page was removed from the transcript, but it is available in the full report’s PDF):

As validators professionalize, they are expected to resemble existing business banking affairs more closely. Much of their work would involve Business Development for enterprise clients, actively seeking clients and offering services. This proactive approach stands in stark contrast to a passive “let them come to us” strategy, requiring both governors and validators to actively seek mutually beneficial partnerships. In this collaborative ecosystem, governors would oversee the public blockchain side, while validators would focus on private business aspects.
