I already dreamed about buying Keplr and adding many things that would suit ATOM and help the Cosmos even better , but how is this realistic ?
Do you both have estimation on how much it would cost to fund relayers (Victor proposal) and buy Keplr ? I guess we are talking about a lot of money , is it even possible ?
Edit : adding my comment of the other post here too, as it’s pretty much the same subject :
I think the best solution is to offer good infrastructures for IBC through a hub relayers for all chains as a service. IBC is open source so we cannot tax that and I still think it was a good decision as any chains can simply modify the code and delete this part. In the contrary, if the Hub offers something like a Relayer Hub as a service, for a small fee, playing with the “economy of scale” it could be a very good and elegant solution as it would cost way more for chains to set and manage their own relayers than paying a smaller fee for using the Hub ones.
The point would then be, not to make huge money on this, but rather placing ourselves as the center of IBC. Once links and partnerships of that kind are put in place between the Hub and all chains it will be more easy to make new products and services with them.
Note that, I think chains would still set their own relayers to not have a single point of failure, but, they would still want the Hub ones if they are more secure and professional.
