Cosmos launched a Partner Network of 17 member companies on September 9, bringing together BitGo, Galaxy Digital, OpenZeppelin, Blockdaemon, Hypernative, Blockchain.com, and other infrastructure providers. The network is designed to help financial institutions move tokenized deposits from pilot projects into full-scale production. The complete list of participants includes Anseta, Balance, BCW Group, BitGo, Blockchain.com, Blockdaemon, Coinbax, DFNS, Galaxy Digital, Hypernative, InfStones, OpenZeppelin, Peersyst Technology, Silence Laboratories, Ubyx, Utila, and Zeeve. Cosmos provides the Tokenization Suite and digital ledger technology, while partners contribute asset custody, verification, monitoring, and integration services.
Cosmos stated that its technology supports more than 150 blockchains and secures assets worth over $70 billion. These figures are provided by the company itself and reflect measurements of its ecosystem, rather than the volume of institutional activity with tokenized deposits flowing through its systems. BitGo joins the network as a provider of institutional custody and settlement, offering regulated asset storage, wallets, trading, financing, and stablecoin infrastructure. Galaxy Digital adds trading, financing, asset management, and tokenization services. Blockchain.com provides institutional over-the-counter trading, market-making, and custody functions. Balance specializes in asset custody, settlement, programmable escrow, and collateral management. DFNS supplies wallet infrastructure for organizations issuing assets on blockchain networks. Utila offers multi-party computation wallets and policy control elements.
Silence Laboratories focuses on local asset storage and quantum-resistant wallet technology. Coinbax provides transaction-level screening, payment rollback capability, and programmable escrow controls. Ubyx connects issuers with banks and fintech companies for converting tokenized funds into fiat currency equivalents. Hypernative contributes real-time monitoring, fraud prevention, and automated incident response. OpenZeppelin provides smart contract design, auditing, and ongoing security services. Blockdaemon and InfStones add nodes, application interfaces, staking, and other operational infrastructure. It is worth noting separately that a Cosmos EVM vulnerability affected six networks and enabled the theft of approximately $5.72 million. This incident involved the Cosmos EVM software rather than the new Partner Network, but it illustrates why monitoring, audits, and incident response are critical for institutional deployments.
The network is focused on tokenized deposits, round-the-clock settlement, programmable escrow, financial instrument trading, and autonomous commerce. Magnus Mareneck, co-chairman of Cosmos, stated: "Financial institutions understand the potential of tokenization, but it's difficult to move from a pilot to a high-quality, production-grade client experience." The company has not disclosed commercial terms, the names of participating institutions, or the specific assets that will be held in custody through this partnership. Cosmos also has not disclosed joining fees for the Partner Network, technical certification requirements, or revenue-sharing arrangements. The company will provide participants with contacts at financial institutions using Cosmos public and private networks, but inclusion in the network does not guarantee a contract or commercial deployment.
