Cosmos
A multi-chain ecosystem built around Cosmos SDK and IBC interoperability.

Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains built with components including Cosmos SDK, consensus software, and the IBC interoperability protocol. Networks operate autonomously but exchange data and assets through IBC, so shared components can make upgrades or vulnerabilities relevant across multiple chains.
Latest overview
Cosmos Hub resumed producing blocks after a 24-hour-48-minute halt in block production. Separately, 1.23 million ATOM moved from a Neutron attacker wallet that had purchased voting power for 20,199 USDC and staked it 12 minutes before an expedited Neutron proposal closed.

EVM
The virtual machine that executes Ethereum smart contracts and powers compatible chains.
Background
The Ethereum Virtual Machine is the execution environment that runs smart-contract code consistently across Ethereum nodes and meters computation with gas. Many other chains implement EVM compatibility, so EVM is a technology topic rather than one company; implementation flaws, upgrades, or shared modules can affect multiple networks.
Latest overview
CryptoTicker has reported a security vulnerability affecting six Cosmos EVM chains. The report highlights a protocol-wide security risk for these EVM-compatible Cosmos networks.
