In November 2023, the Cosmos Hub community approved the contentious proposal 848, which reduced the maximum inflation rate of the native token ATOM to 10% from 20%. At the time, ATOM’s actual inflation rate stood at 14%. The proposal was expected to fall through. However, just before the deadline, there was a surge of votes and with some validators changing their stance, the proposal passed with 41.1% votes. A significant portion of the voters — 38.5% — voted against it. A day after the proposal was passed, Cosmos co-founder Jae Kwon, who was opposed to the voting results, decided to fork the Cosmos Hub to create AtomOne.
