## Quote — verbatim

> Osmosis is a paradigm shift that the developers no longer need to make that trade-off... soon enough the bridge is going to get built between ERC20 and the Cosmos ecosystem... it's very easy to see the Osmosis just becoming a massive liquidity provider very, very soon.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Greg explaining that pre-Osmosis, token builders had to choose between ERC20 liquidity and native-chain usability — "I find it very hard that you will use a ERC20 token to deploy something... because of the gas cost, which is ridiculous."
