Noble to transition from Cosmos to standalone EVM Layer 1

The stablecoin appchain Noble is transitioning its Cosmos-based blockchain into a standalone, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 1, The Block reported. The project stated that while Cosmos has been beneficial over the past few years, it is now time to advance to the next stage.
