What is Cosmos (ATOM)?

Cosmos is a decentralised blockchain network that makes it easier for various blockchain platforms to communicate with one another and work together. It offers a promising platform for creating and utilising decentralised applications that span multiple blockchain networks thanks to its distinctive consensus algorithm and interoperability protocol.

The History of Cosmos

The founder of Cosmos, Jae Kwon, set out to build a more scalable and effective blockchain network when he founded Cosmos in 2017. The Tendermint consensus algorithm, on which the Cosmos protocol is based, enables faster transaction processing and higher throughput than conventional proof-of-work systems.

The Use Case of Cosmos

The main use case for Cosmos is to offer a platform for communication and cooperation between various blockchain networks. Its Cosmos Hub interoperability protocol enables asset exchanges and communication between various blockchain platforms. This facilitates the creation and use of decentralised applications that span various blockchain networks by developers and users.

Cosmos offers a range of developer tools and resources, including a software development kit (SDK) and a smart contract language called Cosmos SDK, in addition to its interoperability capabilities.
