#atom #NTRN #osmo Neutron is an L1 smart contract platform in the Cosmos ecosystem.

Cosmos is an ecosystem composed of individual blockchains. ⚛️

Each chain (Neutron, Osmosis, Cosmos Hub...) has its own token ($NTRN, $OSMO, $ATOM...)

Let’s take Neutron as an example👇

👉 Neutron is a bit like Ethereum. Dapps can be built on Neutron, just like on Ethereum.

👉 On Neutron we have Astroport.

👉 On Ethereum we have Uniswap.

👉 So $NTRN is like $ETH and $ASTRO is like $UNI

If you're used to Ethereum, think of Cosmos as a bunch of L2 chains, but without L1.

So all chains can be connected to each other through IBC.

Actually, it's a bit complicated, but it's a good way to start thinking about the universe.

Wallet 💴

With Keplr wallet you can see all chains and tokens without adding them - so no contract addresses 🎉

In Metamask, we need to add Ethereum chain, Fantom chain, Avalanche chain, etc. But with Keplr you can see all of Cosmos' chains without having to add/approve/revoke anything.

Many users are already used to the way Ethereum and Metamask work.

But once you understand how it works, you'll find that all cosmic chains are:

🏃🏻‍♂️Faster - No need to wait for confirmation - transactions are almost instant.

😈Easier - No need to add contract addresses or add/revoke permissions.

🔐 More secure bridging - every chain is connected through IBC - a bridging system that has never been hacked!

🤑 Cheaper - little gas bill!
