What will Kava stand to gain? Ethermint will enter the most technically interesting phase: custom precompiles and EVM-Inter-Chain. Working prototypes already exist and were presented https://youtu.be/x75UobIr4qo?t=14670 and the ground work for Ethermint was set with https://github.com/evmos/ethermint/pull/1272 . Lorecirstea: "I have personally developed the Go groundwork for inter-chain cooperation and deployed three public technical blockchains with EVM-Cosmos (Mythos, Ethos, and Logos), for demoing the inter-chain tech and I will re-base my work on the Ethermint extensibility of EVM precompiles." Some precompiles that I created that are pertinent to this: abstract accounts (implementing account abstraction for EVM https://hackmd.io/@matt/r1neQ_B38 ) quasar: ability to run Cosmos transactions from EVM IBC precompile for EVM nBridge: n-way (n>=2) generalized bridge by transaction replay (Demos at: https://www.youtube.com/c/LoredanaCirstea/videos ) Next generation protocols are inter-chain. If Kava rewards past Ethermint development efforts, and demonstrates will to collaborate, it has a chance to be invited to benefit from the EVM-Inter-Chain innovations. This is no longer Ethermint, it is next-generation Ethermint (with extensions) and licensing may be subjected to change if context requires it. We hope the Kava Community will not choose the short-term frugality over long-term greater benefits. Especially that this is an ethical opportunity that benefits Kava as image, Evmos, and the whole Cosmos.
I made the TVL changes here: https://github.com/the-laurel/chain-proposals/blob/main/kava/Kava_Ethermint_Funding_Proposal.md. I am not modifying the post description in Reddit, to preserve history. Also, I made a summary of points made by Kava Community and brought them to the attention of the Evmos Community: https://commonwealth.im/evmos/discussion/6867-external-ethermint-funding-proposal-on-kava-price-discovery-vote?comment=30756
Ethermint is a Go module that bridges the Cosmos APIs (Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, IBC, etc) to EVM (using the go-ethereum library as module). It is the de-facto way to have EVM-powered Cosmos chains.
