Introduction to Cosmos

Cosmos is an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other,

aiming to become an “internet of blockchains” and making blockchains talk to one another.

Before Cosmos, blockchains were siloed and unable to communicate with each other. They were hard to build and could only handle a small amount of transactions per second. Cosmos wants to solve these problems with a new technical vision. 

Cosmos conducted an initial coin offering on April 6, 2017 and released its ATOM token, which is the proprietary staking coin used by the network. ATOM can be used for staking and transactions across the Cosmos Hub, in which PoS is employed. The interest rate on staked atoms is somewhere between 7% and 12%.Learn More

Cosmos Technical Vision

Cosmos provides Tendermint Core and Cosmos SDK modules to customize your blockchain.

  • Tendermint Core is a consensus algorithm and network communication protocol for the blockchain. Developers can quickly build a new blockchain network based on Tendermint Core like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • The Cosmos SDK is a general framework for building blockchains. Developers can use it to create custom blockchains based on Tendermint, a core module of the SDK, to realize some basic functions such as account, transaction, delegation, governance and cross-chain communication protocols.
