What is

Cosmos Hub

chain?

Known as the “Internet of blockchains,” Cosmos's goal is a network of crypto networks united by open-source tools for streamlining transactions between them. Its focus on customizability and interoperability sets it apart from other projects as it aims to foster an ecosystem of networks that can share data and tokens programmatically with no central party facilitating the activity.

Each new independent blockchain created within Cosmos is connected to the Cosmos Hub, a proof-of-stake blockchain powered by its native ATOM cryptocurrency.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Cosmos Hub and how does it work?

The Cosmos Hub is the main blockchain of the Cosmos Network, a decentralized network of interconnected blockchains. The Cosmos Hub serves as the central hub that connects various independent blockchains, allowing them to communicate and transfer assets through a protocol called the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. This enables interoperability and the exchange of tokens and data between different blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.

What Assets Can I Buy on Cosmos Hub with Kado?

Currently, you can buy ATOM with Kado directly to your self-custody wallet.

What is staking on the Cosmos Hub and how does it work?

Staking on the Cosmos Hub involves locking up your ATOM tokens to support the security and consensus of the network. By staking, you can participate in block validation and earn rewards for securing the network. The more ATOM you stake, the higher the chances of being selected as a validator or receiving rewards as a delegator. Staking also helps maintain the voting power of the Cosmos Hub, allowing token holders to participate in on-chain governance decisions.

Can I transfer my tokens between the Cosmos Hub and other blockchains?

Yes, you can use Kado to bridge or swap tokens between Cosmos Hub and other blockchains.

What are the benefits of using the Cosmos Hub for blockchain developers and users?

The Cosmos Hub offers several benefits for blockchain developers and users, including: - Interoperability: Developers can create sovereign blockchains that can communicate and interact with other blockchains in the Cosmos Network, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions and data exchange. - Scalability: The Cosmos Network's architecture allows for horizontal scalability, meaning that new blockchains can be added to the network without affecting the performance of existing chains. - Customizability: Developers have the flexibility to design and customize their blockchains to suit specific requirements and use cases while still benefiting from the security and interoperability provided by the Cosmos Hub. - Sovereignty: Each blockchain in the Cosmos Network can have its own governance mechanism, allowing for autonomous decision-making and upgrades. - Ecosystem Integration: Users can access a wide range of applications and services built on different blockchains within the Cosmos Network, creating a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem.
