Cosmos Ecosystem Major Shift: Noble Switches to EVM Layer1, Sei Also to "Abandon" Native Chain

【Block Motion】The Cosmos ecosystem has been quite active recently. Noble, a stablecoin protocol, announced a major plan—launching an EVM-based Layer 1 chain scheduled for March 18. This means Noble’s entire ecosystem focus will shift to this brand-new EVM chain, specifically serving the stablecoin ecosystem.

Interestingly, Noble is not the only project in Cosmos making this kind of shift. Sei is also brewing a similar major move. According to the latest plan, Sei intends to completely change its strategy in the upcoming upgrade, shifting from the native chain model of the Cosmos ecosystem to an EVM architecture. This means Sei will abandon the CosmWasm smart contract system and the Cosmos native asset system, fully embracing the EVM ecosystem.

What does this shift reflect? It indicates that many Cosmos projects are beginning to rethink their positioning. The liquidity, user base, and ecosystem maturity of EVM are all evident, and rather than fighting alone within the Cosmos ecosystem, it’s better to jump directly into the EVM track and share a piece of the pie.
