Following a successful DAO vote with 99.6% approval, Nomic, which offers a decentralized, non-custodial Bitcoin bridge to IBC-enabled chains like Osmosis, aims to enhance Bitcoin liquidity on the Osmosis platform. This proposal involves waiving Bitcoin bridging fees for transactions originating or terminating on Osmosis.

Osmosis Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is unanimously supporting a proposal to adopt a revenue share proposal that enables a zero-fee Bitcoin bridge to the Cosmos ecosystem via Nomic. The proposal has received overwhelming community support, with about 92% of DAO members favoring the zero-fee upgrade.

Osmosis DAO is likely to adopt a fee-free Bitcoin Bridge, pending determination, as the ballot is still open.

TL;DR Osmosis DAO is on the verge of approving a ‘fee-free' Bitcoin bridge to enhance liquidity within the Cosmos ecosystem. The proposal has strong backing with 91.7% community votes in favor, aiming to eliminate Bitcoin bridge fees through Nomic.

If approved, the upgrade would mean bitcoin can move more freely into the Cosmos ecosystem, potentially bringing in new liquidity.

Osmosis is achieving this through a revenue-share proposal with Bitcoin bridge Nomic.
