Cosmos Labs Acquires Block Explorer Mintscan

Cosmos Labs, the core development team behind the Cosmos ecosystem, announced the acquisition of the Cosmos block explorer Mintscan. The team has established a new subsidiary, Cosmos Labs Korea, in Seoul, South Korea, to oversee the construction of several key infrastructure components within the Cosmos ecosystem.

According to Barry Plunkett, Co-CEO of Cosmos Labs, negotiations for the deal began in October 2025 and were initiated by the co-founder of Stamper (the legal entity behind Cosmostation), a Korean crypto company. Both parties have not disclosed the transaction amount, financing methods, or whether $ATOM, the Cosmos Hub token, was involved. (The Block)
