Cosmos & Interop Ventures Ignite EthCC with Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes – The Interoperability Game Just Leveled Up
Blockchain's biggest names crash the French Riviera with a power move.
Cosmos and Interop Ventures just dropped a grenade in the interoperability wars—and they're lighting the fuse at EthCC. Their Sovereign EVM Day sidelines the usual conference fluff for builder-centric, cross-chain fireworks.
Why Cannes? Same reason hedge funds host 'retreats' on yachts—when you're rewriting financial infrastructure, you might as well do it where the champagne flows. The event promises hands-on EVM tooling deep dives, with zero time wasted on 'web3 vision' PowerPoints.
Sovereign EVM tech could finally make multi-chain development feel less like herding cats. Early specs suggest 3-second finality bridges between Cosmos SDK chains and Ethereum—take that, legacy finance settlement times.
The cynical take? After years of 'interoperability solutions' that solved nothing but VC fundraising rounds, this might actually ship. Or it'll be another beachside buzzword bingo session. Place your bets.
