What if you could get the best of Ethereum's permissionless ecosystem without the tradeoffs? Vlad Jidkovk @vladjdk , Senior Engineer from Cosmos Labs, explains how Cosmos EVM lets institutions get the best out of Ethereum.

Ethereum is undeniably the largest permissionles ecosystem with hundreds of billions in TVL. However, it is public by default, congested, and requires vendor dependencies for components like oracles, automation, and bridges.

Cosmos EVM solves this. It is the only Layer 1 stack for building an EVM-compatible blockchain. It allows enterprises to: 1️⃣ Own the infrastructure 2️⃣ Leverage the flexibility and customizability of the Cosmos SDK 3️⃣ Get full Ethereum compatibility

Here's an example. Institutions want to tokenize securities and face serious limitations on Ethereum. Challenges include difficulty enforcing access control, third-party bridge risk, and lack of customizability for automation of corporate activities like dividends.

With Cosmos EVM, an institution has complete control. Compliance can occur at the protocol level. There are zero external dependencies. No exposure to rent-seeking or gas fees.
