Cosmos (ATOM) is a blockchain platform that seeks to solve scalability, sovereignty and usability problems in blockchain technology.
Its goal is to create a network of independent blockchains that can communicate with each other in a decentralized manner.
Main features:
Interoperability: Cosmos allows different blockchains to communicate and transact with each other, fostering a more connected and efficient ecosystem for decentralized applications.
Scalability: Uses the IBC protocol to enable communication between Zones and the Hub, facilitating the seamless transfer of assets and data across different chains.
Sovereignty: Each blockchain in the Cosmos network, known as a “Zone,” maintains its independence and can operate with its own consensus mechanism.
Utilities:
Staking: ATOM tokens are used for staking, voting on network upgrades, and participating in the consensus process through delegation.
Governance: ATOM holders can vote on proposals that affect the development and direction of the Cosmos network.
Transaction Fees: ATOM tokens are also used for transaction fees within the Cosmos ecosystem.
Whitepaper:
The Cosmos whitepaper is available on its official website.
