Hi Guinch!

There haven’t been major changes to Mintscan since the acquisition, and if there are, we’ll announce them. Chains continue to integrate as usual. The API uses a credit-based model, as described in the docs: [Introduction – Mintscan Docs](https://docs.mintscan.io/apis). On neutrality, the APIs will stay accessible, and we’ll communicate any change ahead of time.

Mintscan’s business model isn’t tied into the Hub today, and that hasn’t changed since the acquisition. Our focus so far has been migrating the infrastructure, which is now almost done across all the services that moved over. As we build out the roadmap, part of the work is figuring out where Skip and Mintscan fit in serving it, so they become better integrated with the Hub. We’ll share our thinking on that then.

On financials and reporting: as we said on the first big community call, we can’t report a company’s financials, such as financing, costs, or revenue. But the key words in your post are “as they relate to the Hub.” There, the answer is yes. As services start to relate directly to the Hub (for example, Eureka or Skip if moved there), that reporting should happen, and ideally it’d just be on-chain.

On your other question, this is work from the enterprise pillar, as we described in the [Cosmos Quarterly #1](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-quarterly-1-q2-26-three-pillars-three-teams/17200). These are tools built on top of the stack, focused on tokenization on sovereign DLTs. They don’t have a direct, built-in relationship with the Hub. They relate to it because they bring new networks and institutions on-chain, and that connects closely with the direction we’re taking for the roadmap. As we shared in [Hub Weekly #12](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/hub-weekly-update-12-august-13-2026/17241), the idea is for the Hub to sit between traditional finance and DeFi. Enterprise brings institutions on-chain, IBC connects them, and the Hub turns those connections into products both sides can use, starting with issuance and distribution of assets. The latest weekly has more info on that.
