Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Throughput rated at 10,000 transactions per second on Cosmos Database queries are free of transaction gas charges Storage allows mutable updates rather than paying for permanent bloat IBC integration connects liquidity to Osmosis and the wider Cosmos network	Typical transaction fees average approximately $0.002 per transfer Settlement finality completes in roughly 1.8 seconds Full EVM execution environment supports standard Solidity tooling and libraries Processed over 8 billion transactions across more than $3.0 trillion in cumulative volume
Cons	Expired storage leases purge data automatically unless renewed Pivoted focus across general data, GameFi, and DeSci over time Requires bridging between ERC-20 and native Cosmos Layer 1 BLZ tokens	Relies on sidechain checkpoints rather than native Layer 2 zero-knowledge rollups Bridge smart contracts on Ethereum introduce third-party settlement and locking risks Past smart contract vulnerability resulted in the loss of 801,601 tokens in 2021 Separate Polygon zkEVM sequencer suffered an operational halt in July 2026
Best for	DeSci developers storing mutable scientific data, Builders requiring high-throughput Cosmos appchains, Applications needing no-fee database queries	High-frequency stablecoin payment providers, Fintech developers seeking EVM compatibility, DeFi apps requiring sub-cent fees
