Cosmos

Cosmos is a blockchain ecosystem designed to enable interoperability between independent blockchains.

What Is Cosmos (ATOM)? Cosmos is a blockchain ecosystem built to enable interoperability between independent blockchains through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.

An ecosystem of independent blockchains connected through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. It allows sovereign chains to maintain their own governance while seamlessly transferring assets and data across the network.

Cross-Chain Communication: Used for staking to secure the hub and for governance in a network that enables thousands of independent blockchains to trade with one another.

Inter-Blockchain Utility: Known as the “Internet of Blockchains.” Used for staking to secure the Cosmos Hub and for governance. Supports IBC, enabling independent chains to transfer assets and data in a trust-minimized way.
