Noble Shifts from Cosmos to Standalone EVM Layer 1 for Stablecoin Focus
Noble, a prominent stablecoin appchain, is making a decisive pivot from the Cosmos ecosystem to launch its own EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain. The transition, slated for March 18, underscores Noble's ambition to become a foundational infrastructure for stablecoins and real-world financial applications rather than remaining a single app within Cosmos.
Founder Jelena Djuric framed the move as evolutionary: "Cosmos has been great for us, but now it’s time to move forward." The EVM shift aims to attract broader developer participation while maintaining short-term support for Cosmos. Noble currently hosts major issuers like Circle and Ondo Finance, cementing its role in the asset tokenization space.
