First - thanks so much for this resource. It’s made my work in analyzing the Cosmos ecosystem much easier. Therefore, I’d like to give back: I spent some time diving into each of the links and projects, and have some recommendations for projects to be removed so the list is more accurate and representative of the current state of Cosmos.
The following projects are defunct:
- Inschain (website is down, GitHub is inactive)
- KOWALA (website is down, GitHub is inactive)
- Tatau (GitHub and social media channels have been inactive for 5 months, a “delay” was announced publicy and with no public presence since then)
- Peerity (website doesn’t function/looks corrupt, GitHub is inactive)
- EnLedger (GitHub is inactive for 2+ years, all social media channels inactive for 2+ years)
- Lino Network (many parts of the website don’t work, GitHub and social media channels have been inactive for 5+ months)
- iCheck (GitHub is inactive for 1 year, no activity on social media channels)
- Uphack (website is down, no code on GitHub, proof link is down; doesn’t exist in any sense)
The following projects shouldn’t be on this list because they either aren’t related to Cosmos/Tendermint at all, or the proof is extremely weak:
- ThetaToken
- The “proof” is just mentioning that their consensus mechanism is “based off of Tendermint”. There’s no evidence they’re using the Cosmos SDK, using the actual Tendermint code, or integrating into the Cosmos Hub.
- FXCH
- The “proof” is a link to their website, which uses the word “Tendermint” once, with no context. There’s no evidence or identifiable documentation that they use Cosmos or Tendermint. Their Github is completely empty and inactive.
- OneLedger
- They’re “adapting” (not even forking) Tendermint only in the loosest sense. There’s no evidence that they plan to integrate with other Cosmos chains/Cosmos Hub.
- Orijtech, Inc.
- They’ve listed Tendermint on their website as a customer, and they appear to be a software consulting group, so they’ve probably just contributed some code (as part of a contract) to Tendermint. They aren’t a Cosmos/Tendermint project.
- PARSEC Labs
- They no longer exist, and are now LeapDAO working on Ethereum scalability. This is announced plainly on their website.
- AdEx Network
- The Cosmos code linked in the “proof” has been archived, and they’ve moved to Ethereum.
