Thanks for the feedback @ATOM-Renaissance! To share a couple of quick thoughts: > [@ATOM-Renaissance](#): > > And on the actual roadmap, the current version is just too vague and handwavy to even give feedbacks on What specifically about the roadmap update feels “vague and handwavy” to you? What would you like to see fleshed out in more detail? Remember that this is not a final roadmap. This is just the latest update. > [@ATOM-Renaissance](#): > > Building the roadmap in public is NOT your excuse for the continued delays Nothing about soliciting feedback is causing any delays in the product work. We’re running both processes in parallel. There’s no reason not to solicit feedback at this stage, and previously we received extremely negative feedback about not sharing updates as we get them, so we plan to continue sharing updates publicly and transparently as they come through. > [@ATOM-Renaissance](#): > > it goes directly contrary to what ICF/CL promised the community two years ago As far as what the roadmap looked like two years ago, we’ve explained on numerous occasions why that idea was discontinued. You can read more about it here [Cosmos Quarterly #1 Q2-26 - Three Pillars, Three Teams](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-quarterly-1-q2-26-three-pillars-three-teams/17200#p-40070-how-we-got-here-three-theses-in-two-years-2) . It’s neither valuable nor productive to continue to rehash the same complaint here over and over again. We prefer to look forward than to constantly look backwards, it’s healthier. As far as the delays and speed to market, we’re working on bringing the minimum viable product to market as quickly as we can, and adding additional superfluous things to the hub that don’t drive that goal will only add more delays. We will not, however, rush a product to the market that we don’t believe in. That timeline is what it is. We’ve told people at many stages of this product that building anything meaningful on the Hub will take time. We’re reaffirming that here. > [@ATOM-Renaissance](#): > > We should at least have the infrastructure to build on the Hub instead of dealing with security incidents every single week We already do! Remember, the Hub is a permissionless development environment and if there are other products that you want to see on a shorter timeline (a DEX, etc) you’re free to build them! I see you’ve already built a liquid staking protocol for ATOM, so I know you’re familiar with Hub development! Be the change you want to see! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/hub-weekly-update-18-october-1-2026/17397)._
