History
2019
CosmWasm was born at HackAtom Berlin in June 2019 by Team Gaians, and Ethan Frey was the only one from the team who wanted to grow the successful prototype to the production-level software that would benefit the whole ecosystem.
And there came Ethan's nickname, 'Father of CosmWasm'
2020
With IBC and CosmWasm at his heart, Ethan Frey started the core development in early 2020 without any external financial support or a proper company structure setup. Bi-weekly community calls started in March 2020.
Soon, CosmWasm got the attention of the Cosmos community: adoption by chains and long-term grants started to happen, so the team could grow with more developers from Q2 2020.
Confio GmbH was also established in Q3 2020.
2021
Now, CosmWasm is getting more and more adoption to the level that people outside of Cosmos have started to identify CosmWasm as one of the indispensable tech stacks along with Cosmos-SDK and IBC.
