Summary
Atom Registry is a fully deployed, self-funded Web3 domain naming platform live on Cosmos Hub mainnet today. This signaling proposal asks the community to formally recognize it as the official multi-TLD Web3 namespace and domain naming layer for Cosmos Hub.
No community pool funds are requested. Eight CosmWasm contracts are already running on cosmoshub-4. This proposal costs the Hub nothing except an endorsement.
In exchange: full open-source publication, 2-of-3 multisig community governance, 50% of platform earnings to a Cosmos LP for one year, and unconditional transfer of 16 TLDs to major ecosystem teams — including .cosmos and .ibc to the Interchain Foundation and .dao to the Cosmos Hub community pool as a permanent revenue-generating asset.
Details
The Problem
Cosmos Hub has no official naming layer. ENS on Ethereum. SNS on Solana. Unstoppable Domains on Polygon. Every major L1 has one. Cosmos Hub does not. Users send to 45-character addresses. Projects have unverifiable identities. Validators compete on marketing copy. This is a solved problem — it is already solved.
Live Namespace Snapshot
122 TLDs minted across 10 distinct owners. 33 currently open for public name registration. The namespace marketplace already exists and is already operating. This is not a proposal for something hypothetical.
Open TLDs (registrable now): .any .atom .bitcoin .blockchain .btc .chain .custody .dev .do .eureka .global .grok .index .lab .link .lunc .mint .mori .name .onchain .oracle .org .price .reserve .route .skip .treasury .ultra .val .vip .web .xyz .zk

Why Cosmos Hub
Not just .atom — any TLD. Anyone can own any top-level domain permanently. The owner sets the price, the policy, and earns 100% of registration fees under their namespace forever. No ICANN. No registrar. No expiry.
Every IBC-connected chain can query the naming layer with a single REST call. No separate deployment. No bridging. Query the Hub. Get the name. Done.
A lightweight Keplr update integrating name resolution instantly makes Web3 browsing available to millions of existing users simultaneously. Not a gradual adoption curve. A switch.

A complete self-hostable ATOM payment system built, tested, and shipped by the Atom Registry team. Free to any seller. Visual widget builder, Keplr-native checkout, on-chain TX verification via Cosmos Hub LCD, duplicate TX blocking, digital download delivery, downstream webhook automation. Drop it on any PHP host and accept ATOM in 10 minutes. No fees. No middleman. Every sale is an ATOM transaction. Every seller who wants a storefront registers mystore.atom.
Security
Contracts developed using rigorous internal methodology — invariant-driven design, authorization validation on every entrypoint, overflow-checked arithmetic, reentrancy-safe state management, and adversarial path simulation throughout. No formal third-party audit performed. Codebase published to GitHub on proposal passage. If the community requires a formal audit as a condition of acceptance, it will be conducted at the community’s expense.
Commitments
-
Full open-source publication to atomregistry (Atom Registry) · GitHub within 30 days
-
2-of-3 multisig governance — founder holds 1 permanent required key, community elects 2 keyholders through Hub governance. Community keys alone cannot reach threshold. Enforced by math.
-
50% of all platform earnings to a designated Cosmos LP on Osmosis for one year. After one year, LP principal returned to founder interest-free. Yield remains in pool permanently. Default after year one: 50% founder / 50% community pool.
-
Founder retains permanent Builder and Technical Lead role by structural design — cannot be removed without founder’s own signature.
-
Contract migration to reflect multisig governance within 90 days.
What This Is NOT
Not requesting community pool funds. Not a grant. Not exclusive — community retains the right to endorse alternatives via future governance. Not locked-in — recognition can be revoked through subsequent governance at any time.
About the Builder
Atom Registry was conceived and funded by a single builder — an entrepreneur and technology developer who has been building in the Cosmos ecosystem quietly and methodically without outside investment, without hype, and without asking for anything in return. This proposal is the first formal ask directed at the community and it is not a request for money. It is a request to recognize work that has already been done, infrastructure that is already running, and a commitment to the long-term health of the Cosmos ecosystem that is already being honored.
The platform has been built this way deliberately. When you accept outside investment there is pressure to overpromise and underdeliver. When you fund it yourself you can focus on building something that actually works. Atom Registry works. It is live. It is on Cosmos Hub. It is yours if you want it. This proposal will remain in Draft for a minimum of 2 weeks before formal submission onchain to address any communiy concerns.

Governance votes
The following items summarize the voting options and what it means for this proposal:
YES — You agree that Atom Registry should be recognized as the official Web3 multi-TLD domain naming layer for Cosmos Hub, endorsed as a public good, and that the open-source, governance, and LP commitments described above should proceed.
NO — You do not endorse Atom Registry for this role at this time. The team will take specific concerns raised in forum discussion and return with a revised proposal.
NO WITH VETO — A ‘NoWithVeto’ vote indicates a proposal either (1) is deemed to be spam, i.e., irrelevant to Cosmos Hub, (2) disproportionately infringes on minority interests, or (3) violates or encourages violation of the rules of engagement as currently set out by Cosmos Hub governance. If the number of ‘NoWithVeto’ votes is greater than a third of total votes, the proposal is rejected and the deposits are burned.
ABSTAIN — You wish to contribute to quorum but you formally decline to vote either for or against the proposal.
