Cosmos Blockchain Network Setup & DApp Dev

I'm seeking an expert in blockchain technology with extensive experience working with the Cosmos network. The primary goal of this project is to set up a robust and scalable blockchain network. Following the network setup, I need you to develop a decentralized financial application on this network.

Key features of the financial application:
- Smart Contracts: The application should utilize smart contracts for automating transactions and processes, enhancing efficiency and security.
- Token Transfers: The application should support seamless, secure token transfers.
- Decentralized Exchange: A built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) is a must, allowing users to trade tokens directly from their wallets.

Ideal skills and experience for this job:
- Proven experience in setting up blockchain networks, particularly on the Cosmos platform.
- Expertise in developing decentralized applications (dApps), specifically financial ones.
- Strong understanding and experience with implementing smart contracts, facilitating token transfers, and creating decentralized exchanges.

Please provide relevant examples of your past work in blockchain and dApp development when bidding.
