Cosmos

Cosmos is a blockchain designed for a scalable and interoperable internet of blockchains. Unlike monolithic networks, Cosmos uses a modular architecture and the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, enabling independent blockchains to securely exchange data and assets. At the core of Cosmos is Tendermint, a high-performance Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism that ensures fast and final transactions. Cosmos Hub, the first blockchain in the ecosystem, serves as a central point connecting other networks. Thanks to its architecture, Cosmos allows developers to build specialized blockchains with maximum flexibility while maintaining compatibility within the broader ecosystem.
