I personally met the founders of Cosmos 5 years ago at a d10e conference in Bucharest and had a chance to chat with them for half an hour. I'm a supporter ever since. Meaning I watched the project since they still used cosmos-sdk in their github repo. Now they roll with starport. The ecosystem started to show its potential once Osmosis hit the shelves, 6 months ago. If you didn't check it out, spend 5-10 minutes on it and be surprised. By far the best DEX out there.
